Gorgiae vero Leontino studiis litterarum aetatis suae cunctos praestanti, adeo ut primus in conventu poscere qua de re quisque audire vellet ausus sit, universa Graecia in templo Delphici Apollinis statuam solido ex auro posuit, cum ceterorum ad id tempus auratas collocasset.
Gorgias of Leontini was ahead of all his contemporaries in literary studies. So much so, that he was the first to venture to ask in a gathering on what subject each one would like to hear him. The whole of Greece set up his statue of solid gold in the temple of Delphic Apollo, although up to that time it had placed gilded statues of other men.
