''On the Peace'' () is one of the most famous political orations of the prominent Athenian statesman and orator Demosthenes. It was delivered in 346 BC and constitutes a political intervention of Demosthenes in favor of the Peace of Philocrates. ==Historical background== Just after the conclusion of the Peace, Philip II of Macedon passed Thermopylae, and subdued Phocis,〔Demosthenes,''On the Crown'', (36 ).〕 which was not helped by Athens.〔Demosthenes, ''On the Peace'', (10 ).〕 Supported by Thebes and Thessaly,〔Demosthenes, ''On the Crown'', (43 ).〕 Macedon took control of Phocis' votes in the Amphictyonic League. The Athenians had not been present at the council meeting that had voted for Philip's election into the council. However, Philip thought it proper to send letters to the states that had not been present, inviting them to assemble at Delphi so that they could ratify his election. Athens, among others, received the invitation. The invitation raised much ferment in the Athenian assembly, with many members indignant and opposed to Philips' election into the council. Yet, despite some strong and continuing opposition,〔Demosthenes, ''On the False Embassy'', (111-113 ).〕 Athens finally legitimised Philip's entrance into the Council of the League. Demosthenes was among those who recommended this stance in his oration ''On the Peace''.
