[863]. The account of the paidotribes and gymnastes was written before I had read Jüthner’s learned discussion of the subject in the introduction to his Philostratus, but I see no reason to alter my views. Jüthner regards the gymnastes as from the first “the professor of physical culture,” but himself inadvertently applies the term to Pindar’s Melesias (p. 22), who was merely a teacher of boxing. Further Jüthner seems to me vastly to overrate the value of the medical gymnastics and the science of health based on the teaching of Herodicus of Selymbria.
