Note 64 — Chapter I · THE SOPHISTIC TREND IN ANCIENT RHETORIC

Reading edition

The other works of Hermogenes deal with status (Περὶ στάσεων), with inventio (Περὶ εὑρέσεως), with the rationale of impressiveness (Περὶ μεθόδου δεινότητος), with types of style (Περὶ ἰδεῶν). They show him to be not altogether a pedant, nor incapable of style. He was frequently commented, especially by the Byzantines. For modern comment see, besides Radermacher in Pauly-Wissowa, Jæneke, De statuum doctrina ab Hermogene tradita, Leipzig, 1904; Becker, Hermogenes de rhythmo oratorio, Münster, 1896.
