Note 26 — Chapter I · THE SOPHISTIC TREND IN ANCIENT RHETORIC

Reading edition

“Troics” Τρωικά, which Philostratus traces back to Hippias of Elis (I. 11 (36)), seem more like ἠθοποιίαι (ARP 68, 71, 187, and see Hermogenes below, section c). The Τρωικά of Dio Chrysostom are an exercise of another sort, the refutation of a classic (Boulanger, 249). It is discussed by Von Arnim, 166.

Further on μελέτη see Boulanger, Chapter ii, section v; Méridier, Chapter i.
