Isocrates, Panathenaicus, 18


nanFor some of my friends met me and related to me how, as they were sitting together in the Lyceum, three or four of the sophists of no repute — men who claim to know everything and are prompt to show their presence everywhere — were discussing the poets, especially the poetry of Hesiod and Homer, saying nothing original about them, but merely chanting their verses and repeating from memory the cleverest things which certain others had said about them in the past.
