CRATES

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 381 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CRATES , of Mallus in Cilicia, a Greek grammarian and Stoic
philosopher of the 2nd century B.C.,
leader
  of the literary school and head of the library of Pergamum. His principles were opposed to those of
Aristarchus
 , the
leader
  of the Alexandrian school. He was the
chief
  representative of the allegorical theory of exegesis, and maintained that
Homer
  intended to express scientific or philosophical truths in the form of poetry. About 170 B.C. he visited Rome as
ambassador
  of Attalus II., king of Pergamum; and having broken his leg and been compelled to stay there for some time, he delivered lectures which gave the first impulse to the study of grammar and criticism among the Romans (Suetonius, De grammaticis, 2). His
chief
 
work
  was a
critical
  and exegetical commentary on
Homer
 .
See C.
Wachsmuth
 , De Cratete Mallota (186o), containing an account of the
life
 , pupils and writings of Crates; J. E. Sandys, Hist. of Class. Schol. i. 156 (ed. 2, 1906).
