LESBONAX , of Mytilene, See also:

Greek sophist and rhetorician, flourished in the See also:time of See also:Augustus. According to See also:Photius (See also:cod. 74) he was the author of sixteen See also:political speeches, of which two are extant, a hortatory speech after the See also:style of See also:Thucydides, and a speech on the Corinthian See also:War. In the first he exhorts the Athenians against the Spartans, in the second (the See also:title of which is misleading) against the Thebans (edition by F. Kiehr, Lesbonactis quae supersunt, See also:Leipzig, 1907). Some erotic letters are also attributed to him. The Lesbonax described in Suidas as the author of a large number of philosophical See also:works is probably of much earlier date; on the other See also:hand, the author of a small See also:treatise Heal xnµa.7wv on grammatical figures (ed. See also:Rudolf See also:Muller, Leipzig, 1900), is probably later.
