98 II, 23| to examine here.~And when Alphesiboea asks what he means, he rejoins:~
99 III, 11| that an arbitrator and an altar were the same, since the
100 III, 1 | language of tragedy has altered its character. Just as iambics
101 III, 11| are uttered. Jokes made by altering the letters of a word consist
102 II, 20| giving evidence, and this alway tells. For the same reason,
103 II, 8 | ourselves. For this reason Amasis did not weep, they say,
104 III, 12| to hear spoken, but look amateurish enough when they pass into
105 II, 6 | their attitude to us has amounted to admiration so far: that
106 II, 12| of Pittacus’ remark about Amphiaraus. They look at the good side
107 II, 3 | angry, as when they are amusing themselves or laughing or
108 II, 20| power of thinking out your analogy, a power developed by intellectual
109 II, 18| in the law-courts. Having analysed these subjects, we will
110 II, 1 | must be gathered from the analysis of goodness already given:
111 II, 23| Lampsacus gave public burial to Anaxagoras, though he was an alien,
112 II, 15| and good birth implies ancestral distinction. The well-born

116 III, 4 | are examples of similes. Androtion said of Idrieus that he
117 II, 2 | the jeering. Again, we are angrier with our friends than with
118 II, 5 | dead-if they are to feel the anguish of uncertainty, there must
119 I, 11| yourself-e.g. children or animals-you do not value: not for its
120 III, 5 | work out properly if you annex to two terms a third which
121 II, 8 | tend to destroy pain and annihilate; and all such evils as are
122 II, 1 | they are indifferent or annoyed, they do not think so.~There
123 II, 21| tells him, "Nothing is more annoying than having neighbours",
124 II, 10| thing in question; this annoys us, and excites envy in
125 III, 10| over thirty per cent per annum to him, instead of a mere
126 III, 11| they convey. Thus,~Downward anon to the valley rebounded
127 II, 23| results are the same their antecedents are also the same. For instance,
128 II, 13| cowardly, and are always anticipating danger; unlike that of the
129 II, 23| is at our own intelligent anticipation; or those which we follow
130 III, 17| the Philippus and in the Antidosis, and Archilochus in his
131 III, 6 | 6) And the practice of Antimachus, too, is useful-to describe
132 III, 4 | s lips with the spittle. Antisthenes compared the lean Cephisodotus
133 III, 9 | Melanippides for writing instead of antistrophic stanzas—~He that sets traps
134 III, 9 | There are also spurious antitheses, like that of Epicharmus—~
135 III, 11| but the more briefly and antithetically such sayings can be expressed,
136 I, 9 | noble for which men strive anxiously, without feeling fear; for
137 I, 12| easily be stowed away almost anywhere-portable objects that you can stow
138 II, 23| Aphrodite,~Her name and Folly’s (aphrosuns) lightly begin alike,~and
139 III, 15| to both calumniator and apologist. Since a given action can
140 I, 10| pleasures escape from painful or apparently painful things and the exchange
141 III, 17| no man"." Or if you are appealing to the emotions: "I do not
142 III, 1 | rhetoric being concerned with appearances, we must pay attention to
143 II, 23| demonstrative, those are most applauded of which we foresee the

145 I, 2 | enthymemes excite the louder applause. The sources of examples

152 I, 1 | logic. The true and the approximately true are apprehended by
153 I, 15| of perjury: and you may aptly quote the saying of Xenophanes,~"
154 III, 7 | in all other cases.~This aptness of language is one thing
155 II, 23| not going to the court of Archelaus. He said that "one is insulted
156 I, 15| reply Plato had made to Archibius, "It has become the regular
157 III, 11| in things far apart. Thus Archytas said that an arbitrator
158 II, 4 | not with them as when we are-which is why all men feel friendly
159 II, 26| as a line of enthymematic argument-a general class embracing
160 III, 17| should be employed in the Arguments-and in the Narration too-since
161 II, 18| upon which we may base our arguments-for political, for ceremonial,
162 III, 9 | deinon, ei andrh’ eides arhgon;~It is possible for the
163 I, 7 | two sets of consequences arising from two different beginnings
164 III, 2 | instance, the banter of Aristophanes in the Babylonians where
165 I, 2 | properties of magnitudes, arithmetic about numbers, and the same
166 III, 9 | beginning~agron gar elaben arlon par’ autou~and ~dorhetoi

169 III, 16| just, &c. A speech thus arranged is comparatively simple,
170 II, 17| mild and becoming form of arrogance. If they wrong others, they
171 III, 11| remorseless;~and ~The (bitter) arrow flew;~and ~Flying on eagerly;~
172 I, 4 | what imported; and what articles must be exported or imported.
173 III, 12| little room for rhetorical artifices, since he can take the whole
174 III, 2 | Naturalness is persuasive, artificiality is the contrary; for our
175 III, 2 | speaking naturally and not artificially. Naturalness is persuasive,
176 III, 2 | but they call themselves "artists": each of these terms is
177 II, 9 | unjust, and that is why we ascribe indignation even to the
178 III, 14| warfare to Europe~Out of the Asian land...~The tragic poets,
179 III, 2 | may have a bad and ugly aspect, as when Orestes is called
180 II, 17| the wealthy, because they aspire to do the great deeds that

182 II, 24| weakling be tried for violent assault-the defence is that he was not
183 I, 15| like silver, and must be assayed by the judges, if the genuine
184 I, 2 | latter kind will fail to win assent, because they are based
185 II, 24| the former it can only be asserted in the special sense mentioned.
186 II, 23| line of argument is the assertion that some possible motive
187 III, 17| moral character: there are assertions which, if made about yourself,
188 III, 2 | course they were daughters of asses too. The same effect is
189 II, 6 | them in his speech on land assignments in Samos, when he told the
190 I, 11| people at a distance; his associates and fellow-countrymen better
191 I, 13| even on those who have no association or covenant with each other.
192 II, 23| exist. This line of proof assumes generally that the result
193 II, 23| are to make either such assumptions or their opposite, as suits
194 I, 6 | thing. We ought therefore to assure ourselves of the main facts

203 II, 6 | come to grief, since their attitude to us has amounted to admiration
204 II, 4 | anger or to hatred, we can attribute it to whichever of these
205 III, 6 | describe a thing by mentioning attributes it does not possess; as
206 II, 22| when addressing popular audiences-makes them, as the poets tell
207 II, 24| gives its name to the most august of all religious rites-for
208 I, 7 | or enemies, or, again, by authorized judges or those whom they
209 I, 1 | private individuals, these authors say nothing about political
210 II, 23| or one’s teachers. Thus Autocles said, when attacking Mixidemides,
211 II, 24| some he saved-others he avenged-the Greeks he freed". Each of
212 III, 2 | is called his "father’s avenger". Simonides, when the victor
213 I, 12| you may, incidentally, be avenging your father or mother, like
214 I, 9 | if one who was just an average person when all went well
215 I, 13| definite person; the man who avoids service in the army is doing
216 I, 11| and in each man’s heart he awakened~the love of lament.~Revenge,
217 I, 14| or if the report of it awakes more terror than pity. There

227 III, 2 | porheueseai" (advancing) and "badizein" (proceeding); these two
228 III, 16| what the man said to the baker who asked whether he was
229 III, 11| right way, antithetical, and balanced, and at the same time it
230 I, 11| games like knuckle-bones, ball, dice, and draughts. And
231 III, 2 | Take, for instance, the banter of Aristophanes in the Babylonians
232 II, 22| gallant allies against the barbarians (Aegina, Potidaea, &c.),
233 III, 1 | with no help beyond the bare facts: nothing, therefore,
234 II, 23| before doing the deed I had bargained that, if I did it, I should
235 I, 9 | wert yearning,~If to speak baseness were thy tongue not burning,~
236 III, 11| would have thought he was a basket of mulberries"; here the "

238 III, 11| Niceratus, who had been beaten by Pratys in a recitation

240 I, 9 | not to live at another’s beck and call. We are also to
241 II, 8 | the impossibility of evil befalling them will be included, this
242 I, 6 | them. So are things which befit the possessors, such as
243 III, 18| become you. Irony better befits a gentleman than buffoonery;
244 II, 24| argument points out that beggars sing and dance in temples,
245 II, 4 | potter and builder to builder begrudge their reward.~And those
246 III, 17| appeal to his father on behalf of Antigone as if it were
247 I, 12| as Callippus had when he behaved as he did to Dion: here
248 II, 3 | against the dead Hector,~For behold in his fury he doeth despite
249 III, 17| conclusions are more familiar and believable than the premisses from
250 II, 17| produces the types of character belonging to the conditions just described,
251 I, 11| the poet says,~To that he bends himself,~To that each day
252 I, 14| whereby a man wrongs his benefactors-for he does more than one wrong,
253 I, 9 | If virtue is a faculty of beneficence, the highest kinds of it
254 I, 11| to attain. It is because beneficent acts are pleasant that people
255 II, 23| justly" would always mean "beneficially", whereas it is not desirable
256 III, 9 | to possess in life or to bequeath at death". There is also
257 III, 12| came to him; I met him; I besought him". Such passages must

259 II, 23| met with his misfortune he betook himself to Evagoras without
260 II, 13| but following the hint of Bias they love as though they
261 I, 15| have written,~Pray thee, bid the red-haired Critias do
262 III, 3 | Philomela". Considering her as a bird, you could not call her
263 III, 4 | chain, that flies at you and bites you-Idrieus too was savage
264 III, 17| intersperse your speech with bits of episodic eulogy, like
265 II, 13| neither love warmly nor hate bitterly, but following the hint
266 I, 11| is done on compulsion is bitterness unto the soul.~So all acts
267 I, 1 | themselves, and they must be blamed accordingly. Moreover, (
268 III, 12| mentioned, namely by a good blending of ordinary and unusual
269 II, 24| because Pindar said:~O thou blessed one!~Thou whom they of Olympus
270 II, 21| truth, e.g.~Chiefest of blessings is health for a man, as
271 I, 9 | would do it. To call any one blest is, it may be added, the
272 II, 3 | and for what he had been blinded. Consequently we do not
273 I, 7 | more like it. Accordingly, blinding a one-eyed man inflicts
274 II, 5 | no chance of retrieving a blunder either no chance at all,
275 II, 4 | their opinions, we need not blush before them for doing what
276 II, 23| of Antiphon: ~To slay no boar, but to be witnesses~Of
277 II, 6 | others; for this is due to boastfulness. The same is true of the
278 III, 4 | but go on crying; and the Boeotians to holm-oaks, because they
279 II, 23| Thrasymachus, "You are always bold in battle"; of Polus, "you

281 I, 4 | From this we can see that books of travel are useful aids
282 I, 2 | sign that she has lately borne a child". Here we have the

284 I, 12| feelings; but no man by both-they will affect people of quite
285 II, 5 | steps-many, or important, or both-to cure or prevent trouble;
286 III, 9 | have come to you here and bought you". All these passages

289 II, 24| they gnawed through the bowstrings. Or it might be maintained
