  • The Art and Rhetoric of Lucian’s Hippias

    William H RaceARTICLEMnemosyne2016Cited by: 1References: 2

    Lucian’s brief essay, Hippias or The Bath , has been declared spurious, disparaged as frivolous, considered an ironic parody, and generally ignored. Yet it contains the only detailed description of a Roman bath complex (Yegül 1979; 2010) and displays a remarkable command of topics in the eulogistic and epideictic tradition (priamel, ring-composition, praeteritio , apologetic envoi ) that extends from Pindar to the Second Sophistic.

  • How Greek poems begin

    Open AccessWilliam H RaceCHAPTERBeginnings in Classical Literature1992

    Greek and Roman rhetorical treatises provide many observations on the topics and aims of prose introductions (προοίμια, exordia, principia ), but have little to say about poetic introductions and practically nothing about their formal elements. The purpose of this article is to explore the forms that underlie the beginnings of Greek poems. No system of classification can provide an exhaustive account of the various ways in which Greek poems open,…
