	Aelius Aristides
		Aelius Aristides, surnamed Theodorus, a Greek rhetorician and sophist, son of Eudaemon, a priest of Zeus, was born at Hadriani in Mysia, AD 117 (or 129).
		In 178, when it was destroyed by an earthquake, he wrote an account of the disaster to Marcus Aurelius, which deeply affected the emperor and induced him to rebuild the city.
		His style, formed on the best models, is generally clear and correct, though sometimes obscured by rhetorical ornamentation; his subjects being mainly fictitious, the cause possessed no living interest, and his attention was concentrated on form and diction.

		Aristides, it is suggested, may have been deluded in precisely the manner of Lucius.
		Aristides states explicitly that his is an intense, life-changing experience; though the same is not openly claimed by Lucius in his retailing of the initation, it is clear that this is the case from his later speech of thanks to the goddess (11,25: 286,20—287,12) and his subsequent career as a devotee.
		Aristides' experience is also linked with Sarapis, the popular Hellenised ‘equivalent’ of Osiris. If there is an echo here, Apuleius in Lucius' initiation-experience with Isis then recalls the initiation-experience of Aristides with Osiris/Sarapis, the god into whose cult Lucius is eventually going to be initiated.

		For Aristides, it appears, these two great threats to the classical city-states have become interchangeable: both are “barbarian” foils to the “Greek”.
		On the face of it, Aristides has a disregard for Alexander that is unusual for Second Sophistic writers, considering that his empire was the only one that they could consider in some way “their own”.
		Aristides simply privileges those aspects of Alexander that make him look most “barbaric” in order to emphasize, by contrast, the greatness of Athens and the “manifest destiny” of the Roman Empire.

		The chapters of this storybook revive in modern form various accounts of “the famous ‘psychic’ Sosipatra,” the soul-projecting Aristeas of Proconnesus, the “prominent sophist [professional lecturer and teacher]” Aelius Aristides, and the accused ‘philosopher [practitioner of the occult]’ Apollonius and his disciple, Damis.
		Sosipatra was something of a psychic child prodigy complete with a fairytale-mystical upbringing: two strange men show up at her parents' house one day and tell them that she is destined for to wield great psychic power in the story "Disconnected".

		Author's Note: This is an adaptation of accounts of Aelius Aristides, a prominent sophist (professional lecturer and teacher) of the second century A.D. Aelius was reputed to be a healer, and he was said to be in communion with god -- but not a religious god, a purely personal, spiritual one.
		There is also an account that explains the deep connection Aristides made with another man in a temple he was residing in, and they really did share a dream vision like this one!
		According to Aristides, if you've ever had such visions, you'll recognize their description, but if you haven't, there's no language on earth with the capacity to encapsulate it for you.

		Both Trajan and Hadrian contributed to Pergamum, renovating temples in their honor, and Pergamum remained a mecca of culture and beauty for the surrounding areas of Asia Minor, especially for those interested in medicine who could visit the Asclepeion and other spas.
		Two ancient sources who wrote of the Asclepeion, Aelius Aristides and Galen of the second century after Christ, laud its virtues and restorative powers.
		Pergamum passed from a kingdom to the Roman province of Mysia then to the province of Asia before it was deemed a democracy under the hegemony of the Roman Empire, but its culture never failed to thrive, surviving every upheaval.

		Examining Isocrates, Cicero, and Aelius Aristides, Wardy's main point seems to be that the threat of a perfectly manipulative rhetoric faded as the political deliberation that an art of rhetoric threatened to subvert was displaced by armed Imperial might.
