Syria made a Roman province, B.C. 65 Privileges granted by Rome to the Phoenician cities Phoenicia profits by the Roman suppression of piracy, but suffers from Parthian ravages The Phoenicians offend Augustus and lose their favoured position, but recover it under later emperors Mention of the Phoenician cities in the New Testament Phoenicia accepts Christianity Phoenician bishops at the early Councils Phoenician literature at this date Works of Antipater, Apollonius, Philo, Hermippus, Marinus, Maximus, and Porphyry School of law at Berytus Survival of the Phoenician commercial spirit Survival of the religion Summary.
Last of all an instinct—he could not call it desire—drove him to seek the house of Hermippus. They had to force the door open with a stone. The first red torch-light that glimmered around the aula told that the Eumolpid had awaited the enemy in Athens, not in Eleusis.
His father disinherited him.” “Peace, peace,” urged the crier; “I’ll tell all about him, as I have of the others. Know then, my masters, that he loved, and won in marriage, Hermione, daughter of Hermippus of Eleusis. Now Hermippus is Conon’s mortal enemy; therefore in great wrath Conon disinherited his son,—but now, consenting to forgive him if he wins the parsley crown in the pentathlon—”
“The brat will never boast of his father,” quoth Dion, rolling his eyes. “He left the world in a way, I wager five minæ, the mother hopes she can hide from her darling, but the babe’s of right good stock, an Alcmæonid, and the grandfather is that Hermippus—” “Hermippus?” The stranger seemed to catch the word out of Dion’s mouth.
To play upon the silver-voiced flute is Theban-like and vulgar. They leave that to their slaves." "And why not leave laughter to the slaves?" asked Hermippus; "since anything more than a graceful smile distorts the beauty of the features? I suppose bright eyes would weep in Athens, should the cheeks of Alcibiades be seen puffed out with vulgar wind-instruments."
This story is said by Hermippus to have been told by Pataikos, he who said that he had inherited the soul of Aesop. VII. It is a strange and unworthy feeling that prompts a man not to claim that to which he has a right, for fear that he may one day lose it; for by the same reasoning he might refuse wealth, reputation, or wisdom, for fear of losing them hereafter.
Hermippus says he met with an account in certain anonymous memoirs that Demosthenes likewise studied under Plato, and received great assistance from him in preparing to speak in public. He adds, that Ctesibius used to say that Demosthenes was privately supplied by Callias the Syracusan and some others, with the systems of rhetoric taught by Isocrates and Alcidamus, and made his advantage of them.
Hermippus, in a speech of considerable length, urged that Phidias seldom sacrificed to the gods; and that he must have intended likenesses on the shield of Pallas, because even Athenian children recognized them. The brazen urn was again passed round, and the black pebbles were more numerous than they had been when the fate of Anaxagoras was decided.
His speech was brief and to the point. “All the priests and seers of Attica have consulted. Xenagoras speaks for them all save Hermippus of the house of Eumolpus, who denies the others’ interpretation.” Confusion followed. Men rose, swung their arms, harangued madly from where they stood. The chairman in vain ordered “Silence!” and was fain to bid the Scythian constables restore order.
Besides, he’s an Alcmæonid, and since their old murder of Cylon the house has been under a blood curse. He has married the daughter of Hermippus, who is too highly born to be faithful to the democracy. He carries a Laconian cane,—sure sign of Spartanizing tendencies. He may conspire any day to become tyrant.”
