Abstract
In Dio of Prusa's (ca. 40-120 AD) Speech on Homer (Or. LIII,1-5) we find a brief history of textual interpretation. When referring to Democritus Dio draws from the doxographic tradition. For the sophist from Prusa grammarians activity originates from Aristotle and the peripatetic school. The author shall study the characteristics of Alexandrian philology and the discussion – ignored by Dio – arisen from Dionysius Trax's definition, which lasted until the second century AD. Then he shall be concerned with the different kinds of hermeneutics enumerated or alluded to in the already mentioned passage, paying special attention to the cynic-stoic hermeneutics practised by the sophist.

Summary
Como en otros campos del saber, los verdaderos creadores de la hermenéutica en todas sus modalidades. Por ejemplo, en la segunda parte del Euboico de Dión de Prusa, se hace un elogio de Pobreza, haciendo exégesis moral de muy diversos textos de Homero, de Eurípides y de otros poetas[36].
