The interaction between orator and audience, the passions and
distrust held by many concerning the predominance of one
individual, but also the individual's struggle as an advisor and
political leader, these are the quintessential elements of 4th
century rhetoric. As an individual personality, the orator draws
strength from his audience, while the rhetorical texts mirror his
own thoughts and those of his audience as part of a two-way
relationship, in which individuality meets, opposes, and identifies
with the masses. For the first time, this volume systematically
compares minor orators with the major figures of rhetoric,
Demosthenes and Isocrates, taking into account other findings as
well, such as extracts of Hyperides from the Archimedes Palimpsest.
Moreover, this book provides insight into the controversy
surrounding the art of discourse in the rhetorical texts of
Anaximenes, Aristotle, and especially of Isocrates who took up a
clear stance against the philosophy of the 4th century.
