Quotes by Richard E. McDorman

“Epicurus (341-270 B.C.) was the last major Greek philosopher of the classical era to make significant original contributions to the study of language, developing a socio-anthropological theory of the origin of language.”
― Richard E. McDorman, Language and the Ancient Greeks and On the Decipherment of Linear B (A Pair of Essays

“The Sophist Protagoras (c. 570-c. 495 B.C.) was known for his investigation into the “correctness of names.”10 He also distinguished between different types of sentences and criticized Homer for committing an error in gender at the beginning of the Iliad, making menis, ‘wrath,’ feminine instead of masculine.”

“Antisthenes was a Homeric exegete, commenting on both the Iliad and the Odyssey. Comparing him to Socrates, Epictetus recorded in his Discourses that Antisthenes thought that the basis of education was the study of names. A logician who reflected on the relationship among beauty, truth and language, Antisthenes posited that contradicting was a logical impossibility,12 arguing that nothing can be said except with the proper logos and that there is but a single logos for each thing;”
