Quomodo historia conscribenda sit 8.11
Quotation
μᾶλλον δὲ ὑπέρμεγα τοῦτο κακόν, εἰ μὴ εἰδείη τις χωρίζειν τὰ ἱστορίας καὶ τὰ ποιητικῆς, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπεισάγει τῇ ἱστορίᾳ τὰ τῆς ἑτέρας κομμώματα, τὸν μῦθον καὶ τὸ ἐγκώμιον καὶ τὰς ἐν τούτοις ὑπερβολάς, ὥσπερ ἂν εἴ τις ἀθλητὴν τῶν καρτερῶν τούτων καὶ κομιδῇ πρινίνων ἁλουργίσι περιβάλοι καὶ τῷ ἄλλῳ κόσμῳ τῷ ἑταιρικῷ καὶ φυκίον ἐντρίβοι καὶ ψιμύθιον τῷ προσώπῳ, Ἡράκλεις ὡς καταγέλαστον αὐτὸν ἀπεργάσαιτο αἰσχύνας τῷ κόσμῳ ἐκείνῳ.
