Theophrastus
"He is reputed to have had some 2,000 students. He bequeatled his books to his pupil Neleus of Scepsis. The narrative of their subsequent history should be treated with reserve: together with the books of Aristotle, which Theophrastus had inherited, they were stored underground, suffered damage, and were sold to Apellicon of Teos, who issued unreliable copies; the library of Apellicon was carried off to Tome when Sulla captured Athens, and acquired by Tyrannion the grammarian, who, with Andronicus of Rhode, put further unsatisfactory copies into circulation."

"Theophrastus can prompt us to think, to ask questions, to fill in the details for ourselves and supply the thoughts at which he only hints."

"According to the most natural interpretation, Alexander died and Antipater became the most important man in the world. And Antipater reached such a position when he returned from Asia in 320 or 319 after Perdiccas' death. The date 319 seems more likely than the others."

"Theophrastus locates his characters in a specific time and place. The time is the late fourth century. The place is Athens. And it is an Athens whose daily life he recreates for us in dozens of dramatic pictures. If we look elsewhere for such scenes and such people, we shall not find them (until we come to the Mimes of Herodas) except on the comic stage."

"Here is the essence of the problem. We often find that our text of Theophrastus exhibits qualities of language and style very different from those which he is capable of achieving, that it really is obscure and inelegant, that it is not Greek a its most limpid."

"He asks for this task because it gives him his brief moment of lime light, a solo performance, garlanded and brightly robed, with a solemn and impressive script. I was not a demandingspeech to make, since it was composed entirely of traditinal phrases, as we can see from a similar announcement in Demosthene."
