ΤΕΜΝΟΥΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Hermagoras. Of Temnos, a distinguished Greek rhetorician of the time of Pompey
and Cicero. He belonged to the Rhodian school of oratory, and appears to have
tried to excel as an orator (or rather declaimer) as well as a teacher of rhetoric.
(Quintil. v. 3.59, viii. pr. § 3; Suid. s. v. Hermagoras.) But it is especially
as a teacher of rhetoric that he is known to us. He devoted particular attention
to what is called the invention, and made a peculiar division of the parts of
an oration, which differed from that adopted by other rhetoricians. (Quintil.
iii. 1.16.) Cicero (de Invent. i. 6) opposes his system, but Quintilian defends
it (iii. 3.9, 5.4, 16, &c., 6.56), though in some parts the latter censures what
Cicero approves of. (Cic. de Invent. i. 11; Quintil. iii. 6.60, &c.) But in his
eagerness to systematise the parts of an oration, he entirely lost sight of the
practical point of view from which oratory must be regarded. (Quintil. iii. 11.22;
Tacit. de Oral. 19.) He appears to have been the author of several works which
are lost; Suidas mentions Hpetorikai, Peri ezergasias, Peri phraseos, Peri schenaton,
Peri prepontos. (See the passages in which Cicero discusses the views of Hermagoras
in Orelli's Onom. Tull. s. v.; comp. Westermann, Gesch. d. Griech. Beredtsamk.
