Plutarch accordingly applied to Athens for aid, which was granted in opposition to the advice of Demosthenes , and an army was sent into Euboea under the command of Phocion , who defeated Callias at Tamynae, 350 BC . r aesc1 85 88 aesc2 180 dem1 5 plut1 12 After this, Callias went to the Macedon ian court, where he was for some time high in the favour of the king but, having in some way offended him, he withdrew to Thebes, Greece Thebes , in the hope of gaining her support in the furtherance of his views. Breaking, however, with the Thebans also, and fearing an attack both from them and from Philip, he applied to Athens, and through the influence of Demosthenes not only obtained alliance, and an acknowledgment of the independence of Chalcis, but even induced the Athenians to transfer to that state the annual contributions from Oreus and Eretria, Callias holding out great promises apparently never realized of assistance in men and money from Achaea , Megara , and Euboea. This seems to have been in 343 BC , at the time of Philip s projected attempt on Ambracia .
