Persuasion: Greek Rhetoric in Action Paperback - 1994 - 1st Edition
by Ian Worthington (Editor)
First line
Early in the Phaedrus, after Phaedrus has read Lysias' speech on love, Socrates opens his own speech on the subject with the invocation: Come then, ye clear voiced Muses, whether it be from the nature of your song, or from the musical people of Liguria that ye came to be so styled, 'assist the tale I tell' under compulsion by my good friend here, to the end that he may think yet more highly of one dear to him, whom he already accounts a man of wisdom.
From the rear cover
Greek rhetoric, in its diverse forms and impact on its contemporary context, is central to an understanding of ancient culture. The influence and exploitation of rhetoric in ancient times and modern reactions to it are the focus of this book. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the study of Greek rhetoric and oratory, informed by modern political sociology and discourse analysis.
