The ''First Philippic'' was delivered by the Athenian statesman and orator Demosthenes between 351 BC-350 BC. It constitutes the first speech of the prominent politician against Philip II of Macedon. ==Historical framework== Since 357 BC, when Philip seized Amphipolis, after agreeing in part to trade it for Pydna, Athens was formally in a state of war against the King of Macedon. In 352 BC, Demosthenes characterised Philip as the very worst enemy of his city,〔Demosthenes, ''Against Aristocrates'', (121 ).〕 and a year later he criticized fiercely those dismissing Philip as a person of no account and warned them that he is as dangerous as the King of Persia.〔Demosthenes, ''For the Liberty of the Rhodians'', (24 ).〕 In 352 BC, the Athenian troops opposed Philip successfully at Thermopylae,〔Demosthenes, ''On the False Embassy'', (319 ).〕 but the same year the Macedonian army campaigned in Thrace and won a decisive victory over the Phocians in Thessaly, an event that shook the orator. At the same period that the King of Macedon launched his first attack against the federation of the Chalcidice and seized Stageira.
