Rational persuasion and appeal to an audience's emotions are
elements of most literature, but they are found in their purest
form in oratory. The speeches written by the Greek Orators for
delivery in law-courts, deliberative councils and assemblies
enjoyed an honoured literary status, and rightly so, for the best
of them have great vitality. There is no crude, primitive stage of
development: the earliest speeches are perfect in form and highly
sophisticated in technique. They inform the reader about aspects of
Greek society and about their moral values, in a direct and
illuminating way not paralleled in other literature.
