XXXIV. Cephisodorus 1. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, To Ammaeus: Cephisodorus was a writer of precepts on the art on a par with Isocrates, Anaximenes, and Alcidamas.
2. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, To Pompeius Geminus: Some slandered [Platos] teachings and berated his writings, Cephisodorus among them. Euseb. Praep. ev. 14.3.9, 732 b: This same Kephisodorus (that is, the rhetorician he has referred to previously), seeing Aristotle attack his teacher Isocrates being ignorant and inexperienced about Aristotle himself, but noticing, on the other hand, that Platos doctrine was well-regarded, he thought that Aristotle had the same philosophy of Plato, and he started fighting against Aristotle while attacking Plato. He put him on trial starting from the theory of the ideas, and ended with other things that he himself did not know but assumed Plato thought about in a certain way. From this we learn that at the time C. wrote these things Aristotle had not yet turned his back on Platos doctrine of ideas. At that time, he attacks Isocrates, embracing the view on rhetoric only stirring up emotions that is still now defended in the first book of the Rhetoric. Rightly F. Solmsen, Die Entwicklung der aristotel. Logik u. Rhetorik 205.
3. Athenaeus 60d: Cephisodorus, the pupil of Isocrates, in Against Aristotle, which is in four books Cf. ibid. 354 c: Not Eubulides, but not even Cephisodorus dared say anything like that against the Stagirite, even though they had published pamphlets against that man. Themistius (286 c) lists these same people among Aristotles enemies. He is deemed a student of Isocrates also in Athen. 122 b; an imitator in Dionys. Hal. On Isocrates 19, p. 122, 12 f. Us.-R. 4. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, On Isocrates: I judge the Athenian Cephisodorus to be a good enough warrant of truth, who not only was a contemporary of Isocrates but also became his noblest student and wrote a most remarkable defense speech for him in his counter-pleas against Aristotle; so I trust that Isocrates wrote a couple of speeches, albeit not many, that were destined actually to be read in court.
5. Athenaeus 122b: Cephisodorus writes in the third book of Against Aristotle that one could find one or two things bad sayings by any of the other poets and even sophists; for instance, Archilochus speaks of pulling back every mans foreskin; Theodorus encourages greed all while praising equality; Euripides says that the tongue swore; and Sophocles writes in Aethiopis: I am saying this to please you and not under constraint, But you, just like clever men, praise Just things, yet hold on to your benefit; and in other places too he says that there is no word that is bad if it benefits the speaker. Further, in Homer Hera ambushes Zeus and Ares commits adultery. Because of these things all authors berate Homer. F. Solmsen ibid. p. 206. Euseb. Praep. ev. 15.2.7, 792 a: Cephisodorus, the student of Isocrates, also threw silly accusations at Aristotle, calling him effeminate, a gourmand, and the like. This is the kind of thing Philod. On Rhetoric 1 321, 2 seems to be referring to: And he (that is, Aristotle, cf. p. 324 col. LVII 14) embarked on terrible revenge and enmity against either Isocrates school or some other sophists. |
