Hellenistic oratory remains an elusive subject as not one Greek
speech has survived from the end of the fourth century BC until the
beginning of the first century AD. This collection of fourteen
interdisciplinary essays offers a wide-ranging study of the
different ways in which Hellenistic oratory can be approached.
Written by a team of leading scholars in the field, it examines the
different kinds of evidence which shed light on the dynamic
character of oratory during the Hellenistic period. All essays
stress the pervasive influence of Hellenistic oratory and survey
its different manifestations in diverse literary genres and
socio-political contexts, especially the dialogue between the Greek
oratorical tradition and the developing oratorical practices at
Rome. The volume opens with a detailed introduction, which sets the
study of Hellenistic oratory within the context of current trends
in Hellenistic history and rhetoric, and closes with an afterword
which underlines the vibrancy and sophistication of oratory during
this period. It will appeal to all students and scholars of
Hellenistic history, society, and the history of rhetoric.
