Aristides and the Prose Hymn
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Ten of Aristides’ extant speeches (Orations 37-46Keil) are usually designated ‘hymns’. They are: Athena, The Sons of Asclepius, The Well of Asclepius, Heracles, Dionysus, Asclepius, zeus, The Aegean Sea, Sarapis, and Poseidon. They certainly form a very striking display of high sophistic culture, combining rhetorical splendour with a sense of pride in places and monuments and a concern for religion and theology which we should believe to be rooted in deeply felt sentiment. No one who reads the Hieroi Logoi can fail to think Aristides a man of genuine religious temper.
