[61] For the relation of encomium to poetry, see Burgess, 130.
[62] For ἠθοποιία and προσωποποιία see the index to ARP.
[63] See above, page 17.
[64] The other works of Hermogenes deal with _status_ (Περὶ στάσεων),
with _inventio_ (Περὶ εὑρέσεως), with the rationale of impressiveness
(Περὶ μεθόδου δεινότητος), with types of style (Περὶ ἰδεῶν). They show
him to be not altogether a pedant, nor incapable of style. He was
frequently commented, especially by the Byzantines. For modern comment
see, besides Radermacher in Pauly-Wissowa, Jæneke, _De statuum doctrina
ab Hermogene tradita_, Leipzig, 1904; Becker, _Hermogenes de rhythmo
oratorio_, Münster, 1896.
[65] See above, section A.
[66] See O. Navarre, _La rhétorique grecque avant Aristote_.
[67] ARP 21, 42, 64.
[68] Hermogenes, though he has a treatise on _inventio_ (εὕρεσις), and a
separate one on _status_ (στάσις), deviates the former into the formal
parts of _dispositio_ and still more widely into _elocutio_.
[69] ARP, 125-6, 229; Burgess, 166.
[70] See above, page 13.
[71] See the store classified by Burgess, 150.
[72] See Boulanger, 57; Méridier, 17; and St. Augustine on _integritas_,
below, page 65.
[73] “En principe, il fallait ‘bourrer’ sa matière du plus grand nombre
d’images possible, même quand rien n’y obligeait. En fait, on ne devait
donner asile dans ses écrits qu’à certaines images ... dont la nature et
le nombre étaient rigoureusement fixés.” Guignet, 132.
[74] iii.
[75] Quintilian’s use of the terms ἐνάργεια and φαντασία are among the
evidences that he remembered the vital counsels of Aristotle (see ARP 23,
127), though his own treatment of metaphor (VIII. vi. 4) is hardly vital.
[76] Long thought to be Cicero’s. The list of figures is given, pages
62-64, in Wilkins’s digest, section 5 of his introduction to Cicero’s _De
Oratore_.
