Isocrates 3 endorsed 4 citations · 20 passages
Isocrates cites and endorses one of his own political speeches as proof that his rhetoric benefits Athens and the Hellenes.
As to the hegemony, then, it is easy enough for you to make up your minds from what has been read to you that it should by right belong to Athens.

Pindar 1 citation
Isocrates uses Pindar's honored poetic praise as an authoritative comparison for his own encomia of Athens.
It would be even more absurd if, whereas Pindar, the poet, was so highly honored by our forefathers because of a single line of his in which he praises Athens as “the bulwark of Hellas” that he was made”proxenos“and given a present of ten thousand drachmas, I, on the other hand, who have glorified Athens and our ancestors with much ampler and nobler encomiums, should not even be privileged to end my days in peace.
