XXVI. Lycophron
1. Aristotle, Sophistical Refutations: Sometimes one must attack something other than what has been said, excluding the latter, if one has no arguments against the actual issue at hand. This is what Lycophron did as he was tasked with praising a lyre.[1] [1] According to the commentators, he praised the constellation Lyra instead, which in Greek is the same word. Alexander ad loc. claims that Lycophron slid from the lyre as an instrument to the lyre as a constellation. Cf. Gorgias frag. B VII 19; Aristot. Rhetoric 1405 b 35, 1406 a 7. |
