Greek Myth and Religion
This volume contains the collected papers of Albert Henrichs on numerous subjects in ancient Greek myth and religion. What was ancient Greek religion really like? What is the reality of belief and action that lies behind the unwieldy sources, which stem from vast areas and epochs of the ancient world? What is the meaning, intended and otherwise, of religious action and speech in ancient Greece? Who were the Greek gods, how were they worshipped, a…
Plato on the Value of Philosophy
Tushar Irani, (2017) Plato on the Value of Philosophy: the Art of Argument in the Gorgias and Phaedrus. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. xiv + 217 pp. $99.99. ISBN: 9781107181984.Tushar Irani (hereafter I.) succeeds in offering a new and interesting account of Plato’s view of discourse in the Gorgias and Phaedrus, hardly an easy task given the huge amount of discussion that has already been devoted to this matter.‘Argument’ is I.’s term for…
Dionysius’ Demosthenes and Augustan Atticism
Plato
Ostensibly a discussion about love, the debate in the Phaedrus also encompasses the art of rhetoric and how it should be practised. This new edition contains an introductory essay outlining the argument of the dialogue as a whole and Plato's arguments about rhetoric and eros in particular. The Introduction also considers Plato's style and offers an account of the reception of the dialogue from its composition to the twentieth century. A new Greek…
Colloquium 7
The Protreptic Rhetoric of the Republic
In the Republic Socrates and his interlocutors consider the question of how one should live (352d). As befits a work of philosophy, the question is answered by Socrates by means of arguments that are intended to be compelling because of their logical and rational qualities. The characters in the dialogue demonstrate a great interest in the question, and in the arguments brought to bear, because they perceive that what is said about it will matter…
The Cambridge Companion to Plato's Republic
This Companion provides a comprehensive account of this outstanding work, which remains among the most frequently read works of Greek philosophy, indeed of Classical antiquity in general. The sixteen essays, by authors who represent various academic disciplines, bring a spectrum of interpretive approaches to bear in order to aid the understanding of a wide-ranging audience, from first-time readers of the Republic who require guidance, to more exp…
The Rhetoric of Law in Fourth-Century Athens
Following a brief exposition of the rise of rhetoric in Athenian democracy, the first task of this chapter is to explain how rhetoric became a primary instrument of the judicial process in fourth-century Athens even though rhetoric had no intrinsic interest in the law. The second task of this chapter is to demonstrate how rhetoricians spoke about the law and used it for rhetorical purposes in speeches delivered by them or others before the law co…
Demosthenes, Speeches 18 and 19
Demosthenes
Introduction
While the Homeric poems continued to be the dominant works of literature, it would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that during the four generations which extended from the mid-fifth century to the death of Aristotle in 322 the minds of men were to a considerable extent remade by contemporary books. This book considers a number of intellectual and social practices of ancient Greece: religion, law, medicine, science, philosophy, and several kind…
Writing for Reading
Interpretation occurs when a person seeks to understand the meaning of discourse. The factors that affect interpretation are practically countless. This chapter is concerned with one such factor as it arises in the texts of Thucydides and Plato: how does the author anticipate the reader's burden of interpretation and attempt to guide the reader's pursuit of meaning? For ease of reference, I will borrow from Plato and call this the problem of the …
Written Texts and the Rise of Literate Culture in Ancient Greece
From the sixth through the fourth centuries BCE, the landmark developments of Greek culture and the critical works of Greek thought and literature were accompanied by an explosive growth in the use of written texts. By the close of the classical period, a new culture of literacy and textuality had come into existence alongside the traditional practices of live oral discourse. New avenues for human activity and creativity arose in this period. The…
