[136] Ps.-Plut., _Lives of the Ten Orators_; Dion., _de Lys._, ch. 17, διακοσίων οὐκ ἐλάσσους δικανικοὺς γράψας λόγους. [137] However, Socrates, in Plato’s _Menexenus_, 236 B, suggests that Pericles’ famous Funeral Speech was composed for him by Aspasia. [138] _Epit._, §§ 79-81. [139] The reference to the Amazons and the general vagueness of the historical setting are closely paralleled by the Funeral Speech in Plato’s _Menexenus_, which is generally regarded as a parody.

[156] He is by far the most important; in some cases we can supplement him from Demosthenes, but other authorities are negligible. [157] §§ 1-11. [158] § 12. I have translated this section, though not relevant to the matter under discussion, because it gives a good indication of Athenian feeling on the subject of the torture of slaves. [159] Jebb, _Attic Orators_, vol. ii. p. 277³. [160] Cleisthenes (_Herod._, vi. 129), in a moment of extreme excitement, remarked to Hippoclides ἀπωρχήσαο τὸν γάμον—‘You have danced away your chances of marriage.’ [161] Cf., too, the use of ὑπωπτιάζω in the New Testament. [162] _E.g._ γρῦξαι. [163] It has been already remarked that the speech-writers are, as a rule, ridiculously unsuccessful in their attempt to make their clients speak in the way that is natural to them (_vide supra_, p. 37). [164] _E.g._ Or. v. 23, ἡγούμενοι οὐκ ἂν αὐτὸν βεβαιώσειν, κ.τ.λ. Or. v. 31. ὡμολογήσαμεν ἐμμενεῖν οἷς ἂν γνοῖεν. Or. v. 43, δαπανηθείς (in middle sense).

[183] καὶ ἀρχὰς δὲ [και] (τὰς?) περὶ τὴν Χίον κατέστησε καὶ τὴν αὐτὴν τῇ πατρίδι πολίτειαν. Ps.-Plut., 837 B. [184] However, if we pressed this passage, we must regard the journey with Timotheus as unhistorical. All the evidence is to be found in Blass, _Att. Ber._, vol. ii. pp. 16-17.
