Strabo – “Geography” “There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis.

Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by.

<strong>LAWS</strong>, BOOK V<strong>II</strong><br />

in which our previous conclusions about laws contradicted<br />

ordinary opinion were few and trifling ?<br />

ATH. Your observation is most just. I take it<br />

that you are bidding me, now that the path which<br />

is abhorrent to many is attractive to others possibly<br />

not less numerous (or if less numerous, certainly not<br />

less competent), — you are, I say, bidding me adventure<br />

myself with the latter company and proceed<br />

boldly along the path of legislation marked out in<br />

our present discourse, without flinching.<br />

CUN. Certainly.<br />

ATH. Then I will not flinch. I verily affirm that<br />

we have composers of verses innumerable—hexameters,<br />

trimeters, and every metre you could mention,—<br />

some of whom aim at the serious, others at the<br />

comic ; on whose writings, as we are told <strong>by</strong> our tens<br />

of thousands of people, we ought to rear and soak the<br />

young, if we are to give them a correct education,<br />

making them, <strong>by</strong> means of recitations, lengthy<br />

listeners and large learners, who learn off" whole<br />

poets <strong>by</strong> heart. Others there are who compile select<br />

summaries of all the poets, and piece together whole<br />

passages, telling us that a boy must commit these<br />

to memory and learn them off" if we are to have him<br />

turn out good and wise as a result of a wide and<br />

varied range of instruction.^ Would you have me<br />

now state frankly to these p)oets what is wrong about<br />

their declarations and what right<br />

Of course.<br />

ATH. What single statement can I make about<br />

all these people that will be adequate? This,<br />
