DINDY, PAUL-MARIE-THEODORE-VINCENT
DINARDDINGELSTEDT According to Suidas, Dinarchus wrote 160 speeches; and Dionysius held that, out of 85 extant speeches bearing his name, 58 were genuine,28 relating to public, 30 to private causes. Although the authenticity of the three speeches mentioned above is generally admitted, Demetrius of Magnesia doubted that of the speech Against Demosthenes, while A. Westermann rejected all three. Dinarchus had little individual style and imitated by turns Lysias, Hypereides and Demosthenes. He is called by Hermogenes 6 KpiBivbs Ayiuxrdivris, a metaphor taken from barley compared with wheat, or beer compared with wine, a Demosthenes whose strength is rougher, without flavour or sparkle. Editions: (text and exhaustive commentary) E. Matzner (1842); (text) T. Thalheim (1887), F. Blass (1888); see L. L. Forman, Index Andocideus, Lycurgeus, Dinarcheus (1897); and, in general, F. Blass, Attische Beredsamkeit, iii. There is a valuable treatise on the life and speeches of Dinarchus by Dionysius of Halicarnassus.
