This book undertakes a fundamental assessment of Menander of
Laodicea ('Menander Rhetor'), and of the nature and functions of
rhetoric in later antiquity (second to fifth centuries AD). It
examines Menander's fragments, collected here for the first time,
in detail, showing that he was primarily an expert on judicial and
deliberative oratory; a source-critical analysis of the Demosthenes
scholia shows that his influential commentary on Demosthenes can be
partially reconstructed. It explores the educational practices of
the rhetorical schools, and shows that the skills which they taught
still had a direct application in the subsequent careers of the
rhetoricians' pupils.
