For a time the exhortations of Demosthenes had effect. By his exertions Philip's partisans were driven from Euboea, and agreements were come to with that island, and w4th Byzantium, Acarnania, Achaia, Corinth, Megara, Corcyra and Leucadia, to join in resisting the encroachments of the king. Philip's ans...wer to this was to lay siege to Perinthus and Byzantium in B. C. 340. The Athenians declared that Philip had thereby broken the treaty of peace, and sent an expedition under Chares to relieve Byzantium. But Chares had so bad a character for rapacity, that the Byzantians, who had already Philip invited into Greece, 289 received assistance from Rhodes, Chios, and Cos, refused to admit him into the city.
