Stein's Summary of the Dialect of Herodotus (Classic Reprint)

Influenced by the rules of the sophists and rhetoricians which sought to reduce the language to a sort of scholastic smooth ness. Indeed, in every kind of poetical literature of every age, - and prose in its infancy found a model of style in poetry alone, - they saw this very freedom of form and ex pression not avoided, but even purposely cultivated as a special privilege and excellence of the art of composition.
