Quote:"Athens used to be the dwelling place of the wise: today the beekeepers alone bring it honor. Such is the case of that pair of sophists in Plutarch who draw the young people to the lecture room - not by the fame of their eloquence, but by the pots of honey from Hymettus."That's a line of Synesius of Cyrene (Letter 136). Does anybody know where Plutarch refers to these sophists?
