	Favorinus - LoveToKnow 1911
		FAVORINUS (2nd century A.D.), Greek sophist and philosopher, flourished during the reign of Hadrian.
		It was Favorinus who, on being silenced by Hadrian in an argument in which the sophist might easily have refuted his adversary, subsequently explained that it was foolish to criticize the logic of the master of thirty legions.
		Of the very numerous works of Favorinus, we possess only a few fragments (unless the KopcvOcaKOs Xoryos attributed to his tutor Dio Chrysostom is by him), preserved by Aulus Gellius, Diogenes Laertius, Philostratus, and SuIdas, the second of whom borrows from his HavroSairrt iiropca (miscellaneous history) and his 'Airo,uvmuovEUµara (memoirs).

		The Sacred Antinous - The Oratory of Favorinus - Introduction
		Favorinus appears to recover quickly, and offers to change course in a direction that is more amenable to Hadrian: the discussion of a distant period of Athenian history.
		The fact that Favorinus’ tongue remains intact in the aftermath of these events suggests that Hadrian was quite moved by the speech, and indeed this is confirmed in Epistle 055 - Father of the Country.

	Class Assessment
		Anytus was roused to anger on behalf of the craftsmen and politicians, Lycon on behalf of the rhetoricians, and Meletus on behalf of the poets; for all three of these classes had felt Socrates' lash.
		Favorinus, in the first book of his Memorabilia, says that the speech of Polycrates against Socrates is not authentic, because he speaks of the rebuilding of the walls of Conon–which, however, did not take place until Socrates had been dead six years.
		This indictment and affidavit is sworn out by Meletus: Socrates the son of Sophroniscus of Alopece is guilty of refusing to acknowledge the gods recognized by the State and of introducing new and different gods.

	Favorinus
		With Plutarch, with Herodes Atticus, to whom he bequeathed his library at Rome, with Demetrius the Cynic, Cornelius Fronto, Aulus Gellius, and with Hadrian himself, he lived on intimate terms; his great rival, whom he violently attacked in his later years, was Polemon of Smyrna[?].
		Of the very numerous works of Favorinus, we possess only a few fragments, preserved by Aulus Gellius, Diogenes Laërtius, Philostratus, and Suidas, Laropia (miscellaneous history) and his memoirs.
		As a philosopher, Favorinus belonged to the sceptical school; his most important work in this connection appears to have been the Pyrrhonean Tropes in ten books, in which he endeavours to show that the methods of Pyrrho were useful to those who intended to practise in the law courts.

	Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, page 139 (v. 2) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A Roman orator of the name of Favorinus is altogether unknown, and hence critics have proposed to change the name in Gellius into Fannius, Auguri-nus, or Favonius j but as all the MSS.
		Favorinus, it would be arbitrary to make any such alteration, and we must acquiesce in what we learn from Gellius.
		Favorinus for some time resided in Asia Minor ; and as he was highly honoured by the Ephesians, he excited the envy and hostility of Polemon, then the most famous sophist at Smyrna.

		Favorinus merely adopted the persona of an exile for that speech.
		The occasion of [Dio] Oration 37 shows that Favorinus did weather some serious charges, but Bowie argues persuasively that it would be unwise to link these charges with the dubious anecdotes in Dio and in the HA about Hadrian's jealous conflicts with intellectuals like Favorinus and Apollodorus.
		Favorinus is also featured in Jan Opsomer's "Favorinus versus Epictetus on the philosophical heritage of Plutarch." O[psomer] uses the polemic controversies between Favorinus, Epictetus, and Galen to elucidate Plutarch.
