XXX. Eubulides

1. Philodemus, On Rhetoric: How are we to interpret the claim that some rhetorical speeches are completed not through knowledge but by experience and intuition? We should not, at any rate, think that this way of putting it signifies the lack of dialectical syllogisms, since the latter is common to all speeches, not just a few, independently of the fact that this situation is especially liked by the uneducated. So he berates Eubulides for despising discourse that lacks syllogisms, for, he says, we understand matters just as well without them.

It is clear from Philodemus鈥 words that the dialectician Eubulides, said to be Demosthenes鈥 teacher (so also Philod. 2.206.9) and a disparager of Aristotle (Natorp, RE VI 870), published teachings on the orator鈥檚 craft. Diog. Laert. 2.10 (4), 108: 鈥極ne of Euclides鈥 successors is Eubulides of Miletus, who interrogated many kinds of speech in dialectic, the lying one, the fallacious one, Electra, the wrapped-in one, the Sorites, the fallacy of the Horns, the bald one. One of the comedians writes the following (Mein. 4.618.51

 

The eristic sophist Eubulides, interrogating Horns,

Rolling along the rhetors with with false and lazy speeches,

Ran away with Demosthenes鈥 petty trick-heavy wordiness.

It is likely that Demosthenes too listened to him and stopped dealing in petty trickery. Eubulides also had his differences with Aristotle and slandered him a great deal鈥 (cf. Euseb. Praep. ev. 15.2; Athen. 354 c; Themist. 23 p. 285 c).
