This volume brings together six papers relating to oratory and
orators in public fora of Classical Greece and Rome. Edwards and
Bers explore aspects of oratorical delivery in the Athenian courts
and Assembly, including the demands placed on orators by the
physical settings. Tempest examines the conceptions of oratorical
competence and incompetence, particularly in respect of
performance, as they are implied in Cicero's criticisms of the
rival prosecutor in the trial of Verres. Papers by Karambelas and
Powell look at evidence for the importance of advocacy in the
Second Sophistic and the late Roman Empire respectively. In an
introduction, the editors discuss recurrent themes connected with
the orator's competence and performance, while the final paper of
the volume, by Lord Justice Laws, reflects on the continuing
relevance of rhetoric in the modern, highly professionalised
practice of the law in England.
