THEON, AELIUS

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 785 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
THEON, AELIUS , Alexandrian sophist of uncertain date, author of a collection of preliminary exercises (pro-gymnasmata) for the training of orators. The
work
  (extant, though incomplete), which probably formed an appendix to a
manual
  of
rhetoric
 , shows learning and
taste
 , and contains valuable notices on the
style
  and speeches of the masters of Attic oratory.
Theon
  also wrote commentaries on Xenophon, Isocrates and
Demosthenes
 , and
treatises
  on
style
 . He is to be distinguished from the Stoic
Theon
 , who lived in the time of
Augustus
  and also wrote on
rhetoric
  (
Quintilian
 , Inst. Orat. ix. 3, 77).
