Δοκεῖ μοι Ὅμηρος, φύσει τε κεχρημένος ἐνθεωτάτῃ καὶ φρονήσει δεινοτάτῃ | καὶ ἐμπειρίᾳ πολυτροπωτάτῃ, φιλοσοφίᾳ ἐπιθέμενος, δημοσιεῦσαι ταύτην τοῖς Ἕλλησιν ἐν ἁρμονίᾳ τῇ ποτὲ εὐδοκίμῳ· αὕτη δʼ ἦν ἡ ποιητική· οὔτε δὲ Ἰωνικὴν ταύτην ἐθελῆσαι εἶναι αὐτῷ, οὔτε ἀκριβῶς Δώριον, οὔτε Ἀττικήν, ἀλλὰ κοινὴν τῆς Ἑλλάδος. Ἅτε οὖν ξύμπασι διαλεγόμενος, ἀθροίσας ἀναμὶξ τὴν Ἐλλάδα φωνὴν καὶ ἀνακερασάμενος εἰς σχῆμα ᾠδῆς, διʼ ὧν τὰ ἔπη εἰργάσατο προσηνῆ τε ἅμα
