ABSTRACT
The methodology of this collection follows that established in the FHS&G edition of Theophrastean material beginning with a list of titles of works ascribed to Dicaearchus and continuing with texts relating to his life, writings, thought and influence. Almost without exception, the fundamental criterion for inclusion has been that Dicaearchus is named in the text. Those texts that deal with psychology 13–32 are arranged in such a way that varying understandings of Dicaearchus’ doctrine are collected together. The texts dealing with contests and literary criticism 89–104 indicate Dicaearchus’ further interest in music, beyond what appears in 72–74. Dicaearchus appears concerned in these texts with the relationship between poetry and wisdom 89, 91, although he is also interested in issues of performance 93, textual variations in Homer 94, and ethical questions in poetry 95.
