	Menander (Dramatist) - LoveToKnow 1911
		His rival in dramatic art and also in the affections of Glycera was Philemon, who appears to have been more popular.
		Caecilius Statius, Luscius Lavinius, Turpilius and Atilius also imitated Menander.
		He was further credited with the authorship of some epigrams of doubtful authenticity; the letters addressed to Ptolemy Soter and the discourses in prose on various subjects mentioned by Suidas are probably spurious.

	Menander - Works
		Menander, however, believed himself to be the better dramatist, and, according to Aulus Gellius, used to ask Philemon: "Don't you feel ashamed whenever you gain a victory over me?" According to Caecilius of Calacte (Porphyry in Eusebius, Praeparatio evangelica) Menander was guilty of plagiarism, his The Superstitious Man being taken from The Augur of Antiphanes.
		He is praised by Plutarch (Comparison of Menander and Aristophanes) and Quintilian (Institutio Oratoria), who accepted the tradition that he was the author of the speeches published under the name of the Attic orator Charisius.
		The Bacchides and Stichus of Plautus were probably based upon Menander's The Double Deceiver and Philadelphoi, The Brotherly-Loving Men, but the Poenulus, does not seem to be from The Carthaginian, nor the Mostellaria from The Apparition, in spite of the similarity of titles.

	[No title]
		This, of course, makes Caecilius of Calacte a prime suspect (who else?), and the one that Worthington thinks most likely.
		If Caecilius is responsible for the canon, Worthington argues, we then have some idea of the rationale which lay behind the selection.
		Caecilius would have been anti- `Asianist' in outlook, in keeping with the intellectual trends of Augustan Rome, and so it should come as no surprise that Dinarchus is included, because he is the last of the true `Attic' orators (p.

	Antiphon the Sophist - Everything Shii Knows
		The first biography of Antiphon the Sophist was written by Caecilius of Calacte in the first century B.C.E. Caecilius conflated him with two other Antiphons: one the son of Lysonidas, the other a tragic poet.
		Caecilius' shoddily researched biography included a story from a satirical stage-play.
		The trouble is conflated by the fact Caecilius is no longer extant but survives through the redactions of Photius, Philostratus, and a pseudo-Plutarch.

		De auteur beschrijft in I-1 dat elk retorisch handboek aan twee eisen moet voldoen: inzicht in het object van studie en hoe en met welke middelen het object tot persoonlijk eigendom gemaakt kan worden.
		Het is minstens even goed denkbaar dat de 3de eeuwse auteur het geschrift van Caecilius zoveel jaren na dato nog ter hand neemt voor zijn eigen handboek en dat zijn gedachten over Caecilius een interessant zijspoor vormen van de werkzaamheden aan het handboek voor redenaars.
		Mijn conclusie is dat de argumenten tegen Cassius Longinus niet zo overtuigend zijn als op het eerste gezicht lijkt.
