Is it fair to judge early Greek rhetoric by the standards of Plato
and Aristotle? This text argues that it is not, and yet this is the
path taken by current scholarship on the subject. Arguing against
this view, this work sees early Greek rhetoric as largely
unsystematic efforts to explore, more by means than by precept, all
aspects of discourse. Replacing these early text by such treatises
as the "Rhetoric" of Aristotle, Cole explains, can only be
understood as part of a gradual process, as artistic prose came to
be disseminated in written texts and so available in a form that,
for the first time, be analyzed, evaluated and closely imitated.
