οὐδ’ ἐπὶ νοῦν βαλλόμενος τὸ τοῦ καλοῦ καὶ λαμπροῦ Αἰσχύλου, ὃς τὰς αὑτοῦ τραγωιδίας τεμάχη εἶναι ἔλεγεν τῶν Ὁμήρου μεγάλων δείπνων. φιλόσοφος δὲ ἦν τῶν πάνυ ὁ Αἰσχύλος, ὃς καὶ ἡττηθεὶς ἀδίκως ποτέ, ὡς Θεόφραστος ἢ Χαμαιλέων ἐν τῶι περὶ ἡδονῆς εἴρηκεν, ἔφη χρόνωι τὰς τραγωιδίας ἀνατιθέναι, εἰδὼς ὅτι κομιεῖται τὴν προσήκουσαν τιμήν.
Σοφοκλῆς δὲ πρὸς τῶι καλὸς γεγενῆσθαι τὴν ὥραν ἦν καὶ ὀρχηστικὴν δεδιδαγμένος καὶ μουσικὴν ἔτι παῖς ὢν παρὰ Λάμπρωι. μετὰ γοῦν τὴν ἐν Σαλαμῖνι ναυμαχίαν περὶ τρόπαιον γυμνὸς ἀληλιμμένος ἐχόρευσε μετὰ λύρας· οἳ δὲ ἐν ἱματίωι φασί . καὶ τὸν Θάμυριν διδάσκων αὐτὸς ἐκιθάρισεν· ἄκρως δὲ ἐσφαίρισεν, ὅτε τὴν Ναυσικάαν καθῆκε .

He does not keep in mind the statement of noble and illustrious Aeschylus, who said that his plays were slices from Homer’s great banquets. But Aeschylus was a philosopher, one of the best, who, when unjustly defeated once, as Theophrastus or Chamaeleon has said in ''On Pleasure'', said that he was dedicating his tragedies to time, since he knew that he would eventually win the appropriate honour.
Sophocles, as well as being handsome in the flower of his youth, was also taught dance and music by Lampron when he was still a boy. After the sea battle in Salamis, for example, he danced with his lyre around the victory monument naked and anointed with oil. Some say he wore a cloak. When he produced the Thamyris, he played the lyre himself. He also played ball skilfully when he staged the Nausicaa.
