Schools of Hellas: An Essay on the Practice and Theory of Ancient Greek Education from 600 to 300 B. C.
Freeman, Kenneth J. (Kenneth John)
Education, Greek
[551] Isok. _Philip_, 85, 86.
[552] Isok. _Antid._ 106.
[553] _Ibid._ 318 C.
[554] _Ibid._ 316 C.
[555] Isok. _Antid._ 110.
[556] _Ibid._ 62.
[557] [Demos.] _Lakritos_, 15 and 42.
[558] [Plutarch] _Ten Orators_, 837.
[559] Isok. _Antid._ 129.
[560] Isok. _Panath._ 239.
[561] Plato, _Phaidr._ 227-228.
[562] _Ibid._ 234 D.
[563] The criticisms do not suit Lusias; they fit Isokrates
much better.
[564] Cicero, _Brutus_, xii. 46-47.
[565] Aischines, _Timarch._ 171, 173.
[566] _Ibid._ 171.
[567] _Ibid._ 175.
[568] Plato, _Gorg._ 484-486; end of _Euthud._; _Theait._
172-177; _Rep._ 496.
[569] Diog. Laert. iv. 2. 6.
[570] Athen. 419 d.
[571] _Ibid._ 419 e and 55 d.
[572] Athen. 186 b.
[573] Diog. Laert. iii. 26.
[574] _Ibid._ iii. 31.
[575] See for this lecture Simplikios (on Aristot.
_Physics_, p. 202 B, 36), and Aristoxenos, _Harmon_, beg. of
Bk. ii. On one occasion, at least, it was delivered in the
Peiraieus (Themist. _Orat._ 21. 245).
[576] The popular attitude may be seen in Amphis’
_Amphrikates_ (Diog. Laert. iii. 25): “I no more know what
good you’ll get than I know what Plato’s Good is.”
[577] Plato seems also to have recited his dialogues in
public. Favonius asserted that Aristotle alone of the
audience stayed to the end when Plato thus delivered the
_Phaidon_ (Diog. Laert. iii. 25).
[578] Diog. Laert. iii. 45, etc.
[579] Epikrates (in Athen. 59 d, e).
[580] Ephippos, _Shipwrecked Man_ (Athen. 509).
[581] εὔρυθμος [eurythmos], probably a hit at Plato’s demand
for “rhythm.”
[582] Antiphanes, _Antaros_ (Athen. 545 a).
[583] Alexis, _Meropis_ (Diog. Laert. iii. 22).
[584] This walking up and down was characteristic of
Hellenic teaching. Compare the _Peripatetics_, and Archutas
in the temple-gardens at Tarentum (Athen. 545 b).
[585] Diog. Laert. iii. 22.
[586] _Ibid._ iv. 3. 1.
[587] The first translation is my own, the second Shelley’s.
[588] Saturos and Onetor in Diog. Laert. iii. 11.
[589] The above details are mainly from Diog. Laert. v.
[590] Aul. Gell. xx. 5. 4.
[591] Plato had also his feuds with Antisthenes, who wrote a
dialogue against him, calling him Satho, with Aristippos,
and with Aischines the Sokratic (Diog. Laert. iii. 24).
[592] Kriton feels this difficulty in _Euthud._ 306 D, E.
[593] Plato, _Phaidr._ 275 A.
[594] _Ibid._ 275 E.
[595] Plato, _Phaidr._ 275 D; _Theait._ 164; _Protag._ 329
A, and 347 E.
[596] So book-knowledge is a hothouse plant which has sprung
up unnaturally all in a moment, and very delicate when
exposed to the open air of criticism (_Phaidr._ 276-7).
[597] Plato, _Sophist_, 230 A.
[598] Plato, _Menon_, 97; _Rep._ 534 B, C.
