Isidorus had been chosen by Marinus as his successor in the platonic chair at Athens, to fill the high post of the platonic successor; but he had left the Athenian school to Zenodotus, a pupil of Proclus, and had removed to Alexandria. Salustius the Cynic was a Syrian, who had removed with Isidorus from Athens to Alexandria.
This careful study of Homer culminated in the learned and accurate work of the great Alexandrian school of Zenodotus and Aristarchus. In Roman times Homer never failed to inspire lesser writers; Ennius is said to have translated the Odyssey, while Virgil's Aeneid is clearly a child of the Greek Homeric tradition.
"But there, too, is Apollodorus, the alabarch of the Jews, and the heavy money-bag Archias " "Why look at them!" cried the younger mime. "It's far better worth while to stretch your neck for those farther in front. They are genuine friends of the Muses the poets Theocritus and Zenodotus."
"You think to yourself 'need Zenodotus or Hermogenes, some Greek you meet at the bath or else where, know at once that the wealthy personage, with whom he discussed the latest interpretation of the Hellenic myths, is a Jew? And how charming is the man who asks you whether you are not an Athenian, for your Greek has such a pure Attic accent!
