Description:Excerpt from Mnemonics, or the New Science of Artificial Memory: Explained in Its Application to the Study of Numbers, the Sciences; And to the Useful Occupations of Life; Whereby the Natural Memory Is Greatly Assisted and Strengthened Simonides was employed by Scopas, a rich Thessalian, to compose a panegyric on him for a certain sum of money; was invited to a festival, given by Scopas. To his friends, in order to rehearse it, but was sordidly refused more than half the stipulated compensation, because, puzzled, perhaps, with the sterility of the principal subject, he had introduced a long episode, amounting to half the poem, in praise of Castor and Pollux. Simonides soon found an avenger of the insult. He was immediately summoned from the com pany, by two oung men on horseback, supposed to be Castor and Po lux 1n disguise, who appeared to protect their favourite oet; and who, as soon as they had Simonides, ma e the roof fall on Scepas and his com pan bruising them so to death that not a linearnent of t em could be known. Simonides, by recollecting the manner in which they sat at table, was enabled to dis tinguish them, and to deliver them to their friends for bu rial. The aid which the recollection of the poet received on this occasion, is said to have suggested the idea of an artificial memory.
