Orations

Stromata
Chronographer who dated learned men from Pythagoras to the death of Epicurus.
And Antilochus, who treated of the men of learning from the age of Pythagoras to the death of Epicurus .
Pythian
Son of Nestor, a Homeric hero who died shielding his father from the Ethiopian commander Memnon, invoked as the mythic paradigm of devotion to a parent that Thrasybulus is said to rival.
Long ago, too, powerful Antilochus showed that he had this way of thinking;
For the horse kept Nestor’s chariot from moving, since it had been wounded by Paris’ arrows;
his god-like son stayed on the spot and paid for his father’s rescue with his own life, and because he accomplished this tremendous deed he seemed to the younger men to be the greatest man of his time in excellence towards his parents.
