XIII. Phaeax 1. Aristophanes, Knights 1377-80: What a clever fellow is Phaeax! How cleverly he escaped death! How concise and convincing is his style! What phrases! How clear and to the point! How well he knows how to quell an interruption! Notice the number of adjectives ending in -ikos: it thus seems that some rhetorician鈥檚 terminology is being mocked, probably that of Phaeax himself. The following verse (鈥榶ou are a fingerer of the art of chattering鈥) is explained by what Eupolis writes about Phaeax (Dem. fr. 8 Mein.): 鈥楾he best at chattering, the worst at speaking.鈥 鈥 Synertikos reminds of the lexis eiromene in Aristotle; perantikos is akin to ta perata (limits), which Cratinus the Younger links with antitheses and equal-length phrases, see below, B XVI 5; Aristoteles rhet. 1408b26: 鈥榃hat is without rhythm is aperantos (boundless). One must give one鈥檚 speech bounds, but not metre.鈥 Further, as Phaeax is called 鈥榓 sentence smith鈥, read Schol. Clouds 317: 鈥樷渟entence鈥: enthymemes鈥, and 鈥榦n sentences鈥 Arist. Rhet. 1394 a19 f., ibid. 1395 a6: 鈥榗ountryside-dwellers are the best at creating sentences.鈥 鈥 Krousis (鈥榟it鈥) is interpreted as 鈥榩aralogism鈥 by the Schol. Clouds 317; at greater length Schol. 318: 鈥榝ooling and using paralogisms on the listener, as if throwing down and head-locking a wrestler;鈥 Hesychius: 鈥榯he contradiction to what is said in the inquiries.鈥 Lucian, however, in Demosth . Enc. 32 claims all other orators are unworthy of 鈥榖eing compared to his sound and strength, to the good rhythm of his phrases, the descriptions of his thoughts, the coherence of his demonstrations, his ability to pull together and to hit.鈥 On the content of the term kataleptikos see the following; always remember that early rhetoric put lots of energy into coming up with technical terms.
2. Aristophanes, Clouds 317ff.: (The Clouds) supply us with thought and argument, and intelligence and humbug, and circumlocution, and ability to hoax, and comprehension. These words must refer to Phaeax, for in Knights 1377 ff. gnomotypikos, kroustikos, kataleptikos are said of him. See also Pollux 2.125: 鈥楬ermippos the comedian called it 鈥渙ver-speaking鈥 when one wandered around in one鈥檚 speech, as if one were speaking superfluous things鈥; Schol. Clouds 318: 鈥樷渙ver-speech鈥: talking too much, periphrasis; [鈥 abundance and excess of speech.鈥 So Teleclides (Mein. Fr. Com. II 372) on Euripides: 鈥楾his guy is the one who writes those over-talkative, clever tragedies,鈥 whence Aeschylus is dubbed 鈥榥ot too talkative鈥 in Frogs 839. In the previous n. we saw that Phaeax was referred to as 鈥榯he best chatterer鈥. 鈥 Finally, katalepsis is explained as 鈥榠nvention鈥 in Schol. Clouds 318. See what precedes. |
