Rhetoric and Centers of Power in the Greco-Roman World: From Homer
to the Fall of Rome traces Greco-Roman rhetoric as it evolved into
a system that dramatically influences the development of Western
culture. Christian and later European educational and philosophical
writers drew from principles which were largely Greek in origin,
although the Church encompassed many rituals that originated from
early Roman pagan religions. The Greeks fashioned a theory of
public expression out of the oral recitations of Homer's Iliad and
the Odyssey that Romans later refined into a technical process with
managerial implications. The rhetorical and historical scope of
this work is roughly defined by the transformation of western
rhetoric from its Homeric Greek origins to that point where the
Emperor Theodosius, in A.D. 395, divided the Roman Empire between
his two sons, with the "official" fall of the Roman Empire
occurring in A.D. 476.
