metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the activities of Demades, an Athenian orator and politician of the late classical
  period, especially as a conciliator and negotiator to handle conflicts between Athens and Macedonia.
  The results of his peacekeeping missions can be aссessed as quite successful, having in mind the minimization
  of consequences of the Athenian defeat or erroneous decisions. As a politician, Demades was
  quite flexible and ready to compromise; the content of his activities as a mediator was varied: proposals
  of honorary decrees, drafting psephisma, secret diplomacy (correspondence), negotiation, performance
  and public speech before kings and other powerful persons. Demades’ tireless peacemaking (though not always unselfish) allows one to view him not just as a greedy and cynical wit or a ‘direct
  hireling of Macedonia’. Rather he can be called a realist and a pragmatist whose pro-Macedonian position
  stemmed not from any special sympathy with Macedonian kings, but was determined by his belief
  that the best way to secure Athenian interests and to ensure peaceful coexistence and prosperity of the
  polis was the cooperation with a power that the Greeks could not overcome. Refs 30.
