ΕΙΣ ΔΙΑΛΟΓΟΝ ΠΕΡΙ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΥ

`374a`

πολλὰ ψεύδονται ἀοιδοί.

σημείωσαι παροιμία· πολλὰ ψεύδονται ἀοιδοί.

παροιμία, ὅτι πολλὰ ψεύδονται ἀοιδοί, ἐπὶ τῶν κέρδους ἕνεκα καὶ ψυχαγωγίας ψευδῆ λεγόντων. φασὶ γὰρ τοὺς ποιητὰς πάλαι λέγοντας τἀληθῆ, ἄθλων ὕστερον αὐτοῖς ἐν τοῖς ἀγῶσι τιθεμένων ψευδῆ καὶ πεπλασμένα λέγειν αἱρεῖσθαι, ἵνα διὰ τούτων ψυχαγωγοῦντες τοὺς ἀκροωμένους τῶν ἄθλων τυγχάνωσιν. ἐμνήσθη ταύτης καὶ Φιλόχωρος ἐν Ἀτθίδος αʹ καὶ Σόλων Ἐλεγείαις καὶ Πλάτων ἐνταῦθα.

`375d`

ἀδικοῦσιν; ναί. ναί.
