Wisdom in the arts we ascribe to their most finished exponents, eg to Phidias as a sculptor and to Polyclitus as a maker of statues, and here we mean nothing by wisdom except excellence in art; but we think that some people are wise in general, not in some particular field or in any other limited respect, as Homer says in the Margites, Him did the gods make neither a digger nor yet a ploughman Nor wise in anything else.
