Excerpt: Aelius Aristides (AD 117 - 181) was a popular Greek orator, who lived during the Roman Empire. He is considered to be a prime example of the Second Sophistic, a group of showpiece orators who flourished from the reign of Nero until ca. 230 AD. His surname was Theodorus. He showed extraordinary talents even in his early youth, and devoted himself with remarkable zeal to the study of rhetoric, which appeared to him the worthiest occupation of a man, and along with it he cultivated poetry as an amusement. Besides the rhetorician Herodes Atticus, whom he heard at Athens, he also received instructions from Aristocles at Pergamum, from Polemon at Smyrna, and from the grammarian Alexander of Cotiaeum. Life The son of a wealthy landowner from Adriani, Mysia, Aristides studied under Alexander of Cotiaeum, the tutor of Marcus Aurelius. A career as an orator ended at the age of 26 when he was afflicted during a visit to Rome with the first of a long series of illnesses, possibly of psychosomatic origin. His health problem drove him to the sanctuary of Pergamon (present-day Bergama ) where Asclepius, the god of healing, would often advise people certain remedies in their dreams. After being sufficiently prepared for his profession, he traveled for some time throughout Asia and Africa, particularly Egypt, Greece, and Italy. The fame of his talents and acquirements, which preceded him everywhere, was so great that monuments were erected in his honor in several towns he Books, , Roman-Era-Students-In-Athens~~Books-Llc, 999999999, Roman Era Students In Athens, Books Llc, 1156732409, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
