This paper considers different categories of traveling intellectuals (logographers, rhetoricians, sophists and philosophers): “qualified migrants” who abandon, more or less stably, their own city and their own environment, due to educational or professional motives, and move around the world of the classical age which is culturally headed by Athens. The purpose is to question about their expectations (rich earnings, qualified work, an adequate public, the recognition of cultural authority; rarely real integration) and about the opportunities they encountered.

Abstract
This paper considers different categories of traveling intellectuals (logographers, rhetoricians, sophists and philosophers): “qualified migrants” who abandon, more or less stably, their own city and their own environment, due to educational or professional motives, and move around the world of the classical age which is culturally headed by Athens. The purpose is to question about their expectations (rich earnings, qualified work, an adequate public, the recognition of cultural authority; rarely real integration) and about the opportunities they encountered.
