NEW VIDEO: a brief summary of the canon of Classical Attic Authors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNCbk...

Some people have noted that Aristotle isn't listed among the traditional canon af Classical Attic Authors, even though he wrote in Attic. The traditional scheme is limited to native-born Athenian citizens, like Thucydides, Plato, etc., and those who were born and raised in Attica to foreign-born parents like Lysias, who was a metic rather than a full Athenian citizen. (One could be an Athenian citizen only if one's parents were *both* Athenian.) This limitation on the part of later scholars seems to be a way to codify "pure" Attic as written by native speakers of the dialect.

This is very contrary to the scheme for Classical Latin; except for Caesar, none of the major Classical Latin authors were born in Rome. Rome chose to extend citizenship rather early in its history.
