Abstract
The γκώμια δοξα occupy a prominent position in the production of the Second Sophistic. These compositions were intended to highlight the dialectical capacity of who composed them, and in the history of the genre were also tools of philosophy, in the branch of moral consolation. Fronto provides a discussion of the literary genre, which in Greek literature is not, and that is focused on the cornerstones of suavitas, amplificatio and adseveratio. The Lucianus’ Praise of fly – paradigmatic adoxographical text – seems to follow the directions of Fronto.
