Oath Taken by All Athenian Men I will never disgrace my sacred arms nor desert my comrades in the ranks. I will fight for temples and for public property, whether alone or with my fellows. I will leave my country not less, but greater and better than I found it. I will obey the magistrates and observe the existing laws, and those the people may hereafter make. If anyone tries to overthrow or disobey the laws I will resist him in their defense, whether alone or with my fellows. I will honor the temples and religion of my forefathers.
