	Theopompus - LoveToKnow 1911
		At first he appears to have composed epideictic speeches, in which he attained to such proficiency that in 35235 1 he gained the prize of oratory given by Artemisia in honour of her husband, although Isocrates was himself among the competitors.
		In this Theopompus narrated the history of Philip's reign (360-336), with digressions on the names and customs of the various races and countries of which he had occasion to speak, which were so numerous that Philip V.
		Another fault of Theopompus was his excessive fondness for romantic and incredible stories; a collection of some of these (eav duna) was afterwards made and published under his name.

		Excurses seem to have dealt with (a.o.) Athenian rhetoricians, the tyrants of Sicily (Dionysius I and Dionysius II), and the religion of Persia.
		At that moment, Theopompus was on his native island Chios, to which he had been able to return in 333, after Alexander the Great had ordered the recall of the Chian exiles (text).

		The argument that Theopompus employed the techniques of forensic, rather than epideictic, oratory (175-182) in his moral judgments, for example, strikes me as a valuable insight.
		A chapter on "Theopompus, Isocrates, and the Myth of Rhetorical History" (42-62) disposes effectively with the view that Isocrates gave lessons in historical writing, but the argument that Theopompus was not a pupil of Isocrates is less convincing in my estimation (below).
		Further, the argument that Theopompus was never a pupil of Isocrates flies in the face of a unanimous ancient tradition and of probability.

		This work is mentioned by Suidas, and in a few passages of the grammarians; but it has been questioned by Vossius whether it was really drawn up by Theopompus, on the ground that it is improbable that a writer of his attainments and skill in historical composition would have engaged in such a task.
		It is, however, not impossible that Theopompus may have made the Epitome at an early period of his life as an exercise in composition.

		We know, however, that before he left his native country, he attended the school of rhetoric which Isocrates opened at Chios, and he profited so much by the lessons of his great master, that he was regarded by the ancients as the most distinguished of all his scholars.

		Theopompus wryly pointed out that the Ionic alphabet had displaced the earlier Attic alphabet only in 0403.
		Theopompus, reasoning similarly in his time, concluded that the supposed treaty of Callias must be a later patriotic fabrication, and that there had originally been no treaty at all.
		Demosthenes, for example, around the middle of the 04th century (a contemporary of Theopompus himself), assumes the existence of such a treaty.

		One of the arguments against the historicity of the Peace of Callias is that Theopompus wrote in fragment 154 that the inscription recording the peace could not be genuine because it was written in the archaic Ionic alphabet.
		The text of Theopompus was tampered with in the first to second centuries CE with the insertion of the word sunthêkai.
		Santi Amantini believes, therefore, that Theopompus' use of terminology provides an argument for the Peace of Callias and that Theopompus' criticism on the basis of paleography is too a narrow basis on which to deny its historicity.

		Points of detail are convincingly argued, and the method of reading fragments in their literary contexts proves to be helpful for isolating Theopompus' voice from the argumentative context in which it is preserved.
		Theopompus of Chios was one of the most important ancient Greek historians of the fourth century BC.
		This book explores both Theopompus' historical method and the intellectual milieu in which he worked, whilst the fragments themselves are placed in 'context' by examining where and why they are cited by later authors.

		Theopompus of Chios was the most prolific historian of the fourth century, and probably the most influential.
		If it could be earlier, then we would have time for a career as an orator before Theopompus turned to history (11-17, 26-7).
		Further, despite Flower's arguments (52-5), Speusippus' letter groups Theopompus with Isocrates and his star pupil (T 7).

		In Isocrates' writings Euagoras I and his family emerge as Greek heroes, but the disruptions caused by him and his successors were exaggerated by both Isocrates and his pupil, the historian Ephorus, on whom Diodorus relied extensively (Isocrates, 9: the speech on Euagoras; Diodorus, 14.98, 14.110, 15.2ff.).

		They did not show, under the misfortunes which befell them, a base or ignoble mind, as Theopompus writes in his exaggerated style, but on the contrary, by the honour and respect paid to their counsellor, they made it appear that they were noway dissatisfied with the counsels he had given them.

		Again, Theopompus, when denouncing in his Letter to Alexander the licentiousness of Harpalus, says: “Consider and learn clearly from our agents in Babylon how he ordered the funeral of Pythionice when she died.
		She, to be sure, was a slave of the flute-girl Bacchis, who in turn was a slave of the Thracian woman Sinope, who had transferred her practice of harlotry from Aegina to Athens; hence Pythionice was not only triply a slave, but also triply a harlot.
		Theopompus in his treatise On the Funds plundered from Delphi says that Asopichus, the favourite of Epameinondas, had the trophy erected at Leuctra pictured on his shield, and that he risked extraordinary dangers; this shield was dedicated as a votive offering in the colonnade at Delphi.

		Remember, these are people who are living at a time when it is possible to check Herodotus against his sources (acknowledged and otherwise) and it is clear from the above that it has spawned a genre of literarcy criticism of its own.
		The second point is to note that a historian such as Theopompus would go so far as not only elaborate upon an already existing anecdote, but even invent a name of someone previously unknown.

		Many Greek and Roman authors including Theopompus of Chios and Plato referred to the Etruscans as immoral.
		During later Roman times, the word Etruscan was almost synonomous with prostitute, and Livy's histories moralise about the rape of Lucretia, where Roman women are seen as virtuous model wives in comparison to their liberated Etruscan counterparts.
		Athenaeus, a Greek grammarian of the 3rd Century CE came too late to give a personal eye-witness account of Etruscan life-style, and had to rely instead on the accounts of Timaeus and Theopompus who both lived in the 4th Century BCE.
