This multiauthored volume, as well as bringing into clearer focus
the notion of drama and oratory as important media of public
inquiry and critique, aims to generate significant attention to the
unified intentions of the dramatist and the orator to establish
favourable conditions of internal stability in democratic Athens.
We hope that readers both enjoy and find valuable their engagement
with these ideas and beliefs regarding the indissoluble bond
between oratorical expertise and dramatic artistry. This exciting
collection of studies by worldwide acclaimed classicists and acute
younger Hellenists is envisaged as part of the general effort,
almost unanimously acknowledged as valid and productive, to explore
the impact of formalized speech in particular and craftsmanship
rhetoric in general upon Attic drama as a moral and educational
force in the Athenian city-state. Both poet and orator seek to
deepen the central tensions of their work and to enlarge the main
themes of their texts to even broader terms by investing in the art
of rhetoric, whilst at the same time, through a skillful handling
of events, evaluating the past and establishing standards or
ideology.
