HERMOGENES

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 371 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HERMOGENES , of Tarsus,
Greek
  rhetorician, surnamed 5uvr11p (the polisher), flourished in the reign of Marcus Aurelius (A.D. 16r-180). His precocious ability secured him a public
appointment
  as teacher of his art while as yet he was only a boy; but at the age of twenty-five his faculties gave way, and he spent the
remainder
  of his
long
 
life
  in a state of intellectual
impotence
 . During his early years, however, he had composed a
series
  of rhetorical
treatises
 , which became popular text-books, and the subject of subsequent commentaries. Of his TEXvrf jinroptxif we still possess the sections Ilepi riov aravewv (on legal issues), Hepi evp&VEws (on the invention of arguments), IIepi t&wv (on the various kinds of style),Hept eBo3ov 8etvorrlros (on the method of speaking effectively), and IIpoyvvavara rhetorical exercises).
Editions by C. Walz (1832), and by L. Spengel (1854), in their Rhetores Graeci;
bibliographical
 
note
  on the commentaries in W. Christ, Geschichte der griechischen Literatur (1898).
