Critias, fr. 50 D.-K. (in Philostratus, Lives of the Sophists 480)
οἶδα γὰρ δὴ καὶ Κριτίαν τὸν σοφιστὴν οὐκ ἐκ πατέρων, ἀλλὰ Ὁμήρου δὴ μόνου σὺν τῶι πατρὶ ἐπιμνησθέντα, ἐπειδὴ θαῦμα δηλώσειν ἔμελλε πατέρα Ὁμήρωι ποταμὸν εἶναι.
For I know that also the sophist Critias did not (start) by (mentioning) the fathers, but mentioned only Homer together with his father, because he was reporting something astonishing: that Homer’s father was a river.
