I Introduction (Exordium)
Flex. Wherefore did your father send you here to me?
Grym. He said that you were a man unusually well instructed, wisely educated, and for that reason well-pleasing to the state. He desired that I, walking in your steps, might reach a like popularity.
Flex. How do you think that you will secure this?
Grym. Through the noble education which all say that you have yourself. My father added that this education would become me better than any other person.
