XXVII. Heraclides of Pontus 1. Diogenes Laertius 5.88 (on Heraclides' writings): Rhetorical writings, On Public Speaking or On Protagoras. In no way could I be persuaded by the arguments, or rather pure speculation, of Barwick (Herm. 57, 40 f.), according to which there was a techne rhetorike by him that later authors ignored.
2. Antiphanes, Among the Carians: Don鈥檛 you see the eunuch dancing on his hands, and he is not ashamed, he who explains Heraclitus to all is the only one who discovered Theodectus鈥 art, and writes the main points of Euripides鈥 plays. Trendelenburg in Meineke ibid. has tried to prove that these verses refer to Heraclides Ponticus. But 鈥楾heodectus鈥 techne' cannot be Aristotle's Theodectan rhetoric, see below s. v. Theodectes. Furthermore, since Euripides is named just afterward, it is likely that the reference is to Theodectes鈥 treatise on tragedy, which grew through Heraclides鈥 teachings. Finally, in the Index Philosophorum Academicorum Hercul. I found nothing that can be referred to Heraclides鈥 rhetoric.
3. Philodemus, On Poems: [Heraclides says that] from the point of view of pleasure, appropriateness and imagery, poems and speeches have everything in common.
According to Philodemus (ibid. col. VI 32) the same Heaclides taught that to persuade is the task of a 鈥榮imple鈥 poet. In the study of poetry he applies termini we know were important in rhetoric, that is, 鈥榗oncisely and clearly, abundantly, gravely and not cheaply鈥 (Jensen 302 f.). |
