書籍簡介

Publius Aelius Aristides Theodorus是第二代詭辯術中最有名的作者之一，也是希臘主義傳播中的重要人物。他於117年出生於米西亞的一個富有的地主家庭，在雅典和佩加繆學習，140年代初得了慢性病，退居到佩加繆的阿斯克勒庇烏斯療養院。到147年，阿里斯蒂德能夠恢復他的公共活動並追求成功的演説生涯。他以士麥那的家族莊園為基地，在兩次生病之間旅行，發表了演講和講座、關於歷史主題的聲明、論戰作品、散文讚美詩和各種散文，所有這些都顯示出他對古典文學遺產的深刻和創造性的熟悉。他在180至185年間去世。

這個版本的阿里斯蒂德是Loeb Classical Library的新版本，提供了基於Lenz-Behr（頌歌1-16）和Keil（頌歌17-53）的批評版本的全新翻譯和文本。第二捲包含第3和第4篇演説，它們與第2篇演説（對柏拉圖的答覆）一起對柏拉圖《高爾吉亞》中對演説家和演説的攻擊提出異議。

Publius Aelius Aristides Theodorus was among the most celebrated authors of the Second Sophistic and an important figure in the transmission of Hellenism. Born to wealthy landowners in Mysia in 117, he studied in Athens and Pergamum before he fell chronically ill in the early 140s and retreated to Pergamum’s healing shrine of Asclepius. By 147 Aristides was able to resume his public activities and pursue a successful oratorical career. Based at his family estate in Smyrna, he traveled between bouts of illness and produced speeches and lectures, declamations on historical themes, polemical works, prose hymns, and various essays, all of it displaying deep and creative familiarity with the classical literary heritage. He died between 180 and 185.

This edition of Aristides, new to the Loeb Classical Library, offers fresh translations and texts based on the critical editions of Lenz-Behr (Orations 1–16) and Keil (Orations 17–53). Volume II contains Orations 3 and 4, which along with Oration 2 (A Reply to Plato) take issue with the attack on orators and oratory delivered in Plato’s Gorgias.
