+<head>Hippias, or the Bath<note>"Description” (ecphrasis) was a favourite rhetorical exercise, though many frowned on it. In the “Rhetoric” attributed to Dionysius of Halicarnassus (X, 17 Usener) it is called "an empty show and a waste of words.” It is the general opinion that this piece is not by Lucian.</note></head>

+Among wise men, I maintain, the most praiseworthy are they who not only have spoken cleverly
+on their particular subjects, but have made their
+assertions good by doing things to match them.
+Take doctors, for instance: a man of sense, on falling
+ill, does not send for those who can talk about their
+profession best, but for those who have trained
+themselves to accomplish something in it. Likewise a
+musician who can himself play the lyre and the cithara
+is better, surely, than one who simply has a good ear
+for rhythm and harmony. And why need I tell you
+that the generals who have been rightly judged’ the
+best were good not only at marshalling their forces
+and addressing them, but at heading charges and at
+doughty deeds? Such, we know, were Agamemnon
+and Achilles of old, Alexander and Pyrrhus more
+recently.

+Why have I said all this? It was not out of an
+ill-timed desire to air my knowledge of history that
+I brought it up, but because the same. thing is true
+of engineers—we ought to admire those who, though
+famous for knowledge, have yet left to later generations reminders and proofs of their practical skill,
+for men trained in words alone would better be called

+
+wiseacres than wise. Such an engineer we are told,
+was Archimedes, and also Sostratus of Cnidus, The
+latter took Memphis for Ptolemy without a siege by
+turning the river aside and dividing it; the former
+burned the ships of the enemy by means of his
+science. And before their time Thales of Miletus,
+who had promised Croesus to set his army across the
+Halys dryshod, thanks to his ingenuity brought the
+river round behind the camp in a single night.
+Yet he was not an engineer: he was wise, however, and very able at devising plans and grasping
+problems. . As for the case of Epeius, it is prehistoric :
+he is said not only to have made the wooden horse
+for the Achaeans but to have gone into it along
+with them.

+Among these men Hippias, our own contemporary, deserves mention. Not only is he trained as
+highly in the art of speech as any of his predecessors,
+and alike quick of comprehension and clear in exposition, but he is better at action than speech, and fulfils
+his professional promises, not merely doing so in those
+matters in which his predecessors succeeded in
+getting to the fore, but, as the geometricians put it,
+knowing how to construct a triangle accurately on a
+given base.<note n="1">In other words, he has originality.</note> Moreover, whereas each of the others
+marked off some one department of science and
+sought fame in it, making a name for himself in
+spite of this delimitation, he, on the contrary, is
+clearly a leader in harmony and music as well as in
+engineering and geometry, and yet he shows as
+
+
+
+<pb n="39"/>
+
+great perfection in each of these fields as if he knew
+nothing else. It would take no little time to sing
+his praises in the doctrine of rays and refraction and
+mirrors, or in astronomy, in which he made his predecessors appear’ children,

+
+but I shall not hesitate
+to speak of one of his achievements which I recently
+looked upon with wonder. Though the undertaking
+is a commonplace, and in our days a very frequent
+one, the construction of a bath, yet his thoughtfulness and intelligence even in this commonplace
+matter is marvellous.
+The site was not flat, but quite sloping and steep;
+it was extremely low on one side when he took it in
+hand, but he made it level, not only constructing a
+firm basis for the entire work and laying foundations
+to ensure the safety of the superstructure, but
+strengthening the whole with buttresses, very sheer
+and, for security’s sake, close together. The building
+suits the magnitude of the site, accords well with
+the accepted idea of such an establishment, and
+shows regard for the principles of lighting.
+
+</p></div>
+
+<div type="textpart" xml:base="urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0062.tlg002.perseus-eng1" subtype="section" n="5"><p>
+The entrance is high, with a flight of broad
+steps of which the tread is greater than the pitch,
+to make them easy to ascend. On entering, one
+is received into a public hall of good size, with
+ample accommodations for servants and attendants.
+On the left are the lounging-rooms, also of just
+the right sort for a bath, attractive, brightly lighted
+
+
+<pb n="41"/>
+
+retreats, Then, beside them, a hall, larger than
+need be for the purposes of a bath, but necessary
+for the reception of the rich. Next, capacious
+locker-rooms to undress in, on each side, with a very
+high and brilliantly lighted hall between them, in
+which are three swimming-pools of cold water; it
+is finished in Laconian marble, and has two statues
+of white marble in the ancient technique, one of
+Hygieia, the other of Aesculapius.
+
+</p></div>
+
+<div type="textpart" xml:base="urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0062.tlg002.perseus-eng1" subtype="section" n="6"><p>
+
+On leaving this hall, you come into another
+which is slightly warmed instead of meeting you
+at once with fierce heat; it is oblong, and has an
+apse at each side.<note n="1">Or “long and rounded” ; i.e., elliptical. </note> Next it, on the right, is a
+very bright hall, nicely fitted up for massage,
+which has on each side an entrance decorated with
+Phrygian marble, and receives those who come in
+from the exercising-floor. Then near this is another
+hall, the most beautiful in the world, in which
+one can sit or stand with comfort, linger without
+danger and stroll about with profit. It also is
+refulgent with Phrygian marble clear to the roof.
+Next, comes the hot corridor, faced with Numidian
+marble. The hall beyond it is very beautiful, full of
+abundant light and aglow with colour like that of
+purple hangings.<note n="2">The writer does not mean that the room was hung with
+purple, but that the stone with which it was decorated was
+purple: perhaps only that it had columns of porphyry.</note> It contains three hot tubs.

+When you have bathed, you need not go back
+through the same rooms, but can go directly to the
+cold room through a slightly warmed apartment.
+Everywhere there is copious illumination and full
+indoor daylight. Furthermore, the height of each
+
+
+
+<pb n="43"/>
+
+room is just, and the breadth proportionate to
+the length ; and everywhere great beauty and loveliness prevail, for in the words of noble Pindar,<note n="1">Olymp. 6, 3. Pindar’s ἀρχομένου (the beginning of your
+work) is out of place in this context.</note>
+“Your work should have a glorious countenance.”
+This is probably due in the main to the light,
+‘the brightness and the windows. Hippias, being
+truly wise, built the room for cold baths to northward, though it does not lack a southern exposure ;
+whereas he faced south, east, and west the rooms
+that require abundant heat.

+
+Why should I go on
+and tell you of the exercising-floors and of the cloakrooms, which have quick and direct communication
+with the hall containing the basin, so as to be convenient and to do away with all risk?
+Let no one suppose that I have taken an insignificant achievement as my theme, and purpose to ennoble it by my eloquence. It requires more than a
+little wisdom, in my opinion, to invent new manifestations of beauty in commonplace things, as did
+our marvellous Hippias in producing this work. It
+has all the good points of a bath—usefulness, convenience, light, good proportions, fitness to its site,
+and the fact that it can be used without risk. Moreover, it is beautified with all other marks of thoughtfulness—with two toilets, many exits; and two
+devices for telling time, a water-clock that bellows
+like a bull, and a sundial.
+For a man who has seen all this not to render the
+work its meed of praise is not only foolish but
+
+
+
+<pb n="45"/>
+
+ungrateful, even malignant, it seems to me. I for
+my part have done what I could to do justice both
+to the work and to the man who planned and
+built it. If Heaven ever grants you the privilege
+of bathing there, I know that I shall have many
+who will join me in my words of praise.
