Document Summary

Philostratus, the lives of the sophists, 1. 7 trajan"s love for dio the emperor trajan in. He was a very tall and beautiful young man; and besides, the exercises he was taking made his body seem, quite naturally, still taller and more beautiful. He was giving a most brilliant performance, and in so spirited a way that he seemed more like a man in an actual contest. 3 then, when he stopped exercising and the crowd began to draw away, we studied him more closely.

(isn"t talking about melancomas but theatriclas) For while the other blessings that a man may have might easily pass unnoticed, such as courage and temperance and wisdom, unless some deed should happen to reveal them, yet beauty cannot remain hidden.
