Works
According to the Suda, Oenomaus wrote the following works:
- On Cynicism
- Republic
- On philosophy according to Homer
- On Crates and Diogenes and other subjects.
The Emperor Julian also mentions that Oenomaus wrote tragedies. This list, however, does not included the work which is best known to us, namely, his attack on the oracles, which is sometimes entitled Against the Oracle (Greek: Κατα χρηστηρίων), but the proper title seems to have been Detection of Deceivers (Greek: Γοήτων Φωρά, Latin: Detectio Praestigiatorum).

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“‘Tis too plain that with the material power the moral progress has not kept pace. It appears that we have not made a judicious investment. Works and days were offered us, and we took works.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All his works might well enough be embraced under the title of one of them, a good specimen brick, “On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History.” Of this department he is the Chief Professor in the World’s University, and even leaves Plutarch behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
