XX. Evenus of Paros 1. Plato, Apology 20 B (Socrates to Callias): Who has knowledge of that kind of excellence, that of a man and a citizen? [因 what is his price for his teaching? Evenus, he said, Socrates, from Paros, five minae. Sud. s. v. Philistus (where however not only the memory of the two homonyms but also that of Philistus seems mixed up): Philistus of Naucratis or of Syracuse, son of Archonides, he was a student of Evenus the elegiac poet. He was the first to write a history of the art of rhetoric. He also composed a rhetorical treatise, Egyptian Chronicles, in 12 books etc.
2. Scholion on Epictetus Diatribes: Aristides and Evenus were not sophists. Two elegiac poets named Evenus were distinguished by Eratosthenes (see Harpocration, s. v. Evenos). One of them, if it was he, was no doubt this same one and a sophist. I have included what seems to pertain to the discipline of rhetoric.
3. Plato, Phaedrus 267 A: Of course. And he tells how refutation and further refutation must be accomplished, both in accusation and in defence. Shall we not bring the illustrious Parian, Evenus, into our discussion, who invented covert allusion and indirect praises? And some say that he also wrote indirect censures, composing them in verse as an aid to memory; for he is a clever man. Also Ausonius Cento nuptialis p. 218, 17 P.: Why Evenus? Whom Menander calls a clever man. But perhaps he is confusing Menander and Plato.
4. Hermias: [Evenus] uses incidental praise in order that he might avoid praising them openly, at the same time seem to be praising them; the same with blame.
Usener, Kl. Schr. I 32 (Quaest. Anax. p. 41).
5. Elegeion fr. 1: Many have the habit of debating about anything, but how to debate correctly is not a habit. And with these people the old saying alone is enough: Lets agree to disagree. The ones with understanding, however, one can persuade quickly by speaking well those who are also the fastest to learn things.
6. Epon [?] fr. 9: I say that practice must last long, my friend; and then, finally, it becomes peoples second nature.
See e. g. B XVII 2; Isocr. 15.187; Philod. On Rhetoric 1.49, 14 S.; Iulius Vict怷r p. 373, 10 H.
7. Anaximenes, Rhetoric to Alexander Ep. 15 1421a33-4 The so-called Parian Sophists, since they do not give birth (to speeches) themselvesbecause of their uncultured lazinessdo not like them but make money by auctioning them off. Cf. Plato Phaedo 60 D f., Apology 20 B. This passage seems to refer to Evenus school; on creating see Themistius II p. 46, 12 Dind.
8. Quintilian 1.10.17: Archytas and Evenus (?) thought that grammar too is subject to music.
Finally, Artemidorus Onirocr. 1.4 p. 11, 28 H. cites Evenus in the Erotics to Eunomos, a work that Reitsenstein (RE. VI 976) deems to have belonged to the epideictic genre, but is perhaps more appropriately called Games. |
