1 When I was younger, I elected not to write the kind of discourse which deals with mythsSee General Introduction p. 22. Yet he deals with the legend of Demeter in Isoc. 4 and with that of Heracles in Isoc. 5, and, half playfully, he goes into the stories of Helen and Busiris in the discourses devoted to them. See General Introduction. nor that which abounds in marvels and fictions,Cf. Isoc. 10.4 ff., Vol. III., L.C.L. although the majority of people are more delighted with this literature than with that which is devoted to their welfare and safety;See Isoc. 7.1. nor did I choose the kind which recounts the ancient deeds and wars of the Hellenes, although I am aware that this is deservedly praised,One of his pupils, Theopompus, was a historian. For Isocrates’ attitude to the historians see Blass, Die attische Beredsamkeit 2. p. 49. nor, again, that which gives the impression of having been composed in a plain and simple manner and is lacking in all the refinements of style,For the plain style affected by the forensic orators, notably Lysias, see Jebb, Attic Orators1. pp. 159 ff. Cf. Isoc. 4. which those who are clever at conducting law-suits urge our young men tocultivate,

2 especially if they wish to have the advantage over their adversaries.Isocrates despised this kind of writing. See General Introduction. No, I left all these to others and devoted my own efforts to giving advice on the true interests of Athens and of the rest of the Hellenes,See General Introduction. writing in a style rich in many telling points, in contrasted and balanced phrases not a few,The Gorgian figures, antithesis and parisosis, which Dionysius of Halicarnassus complained (Dion. Hal. Isoc. 14) were excessively used in the Isoc. 4.71-81. and in the other figures of speech which give brilliance to oratorySee General Introduction. and compel the approbation and applause of the audience.
