Slander, False News, and Invective in the Works of Galen of Pergamon
This article explores how Galen of Pergamon used invective conventions in some of his writings, especially in his autobiographical works, in order to craft his public persona and reply to slanders and fake news that undermined his status
Emperors and Emperorship in Late Antiquity: Images and Narratives
What are the interrelationships between the language of rhetoric and the code of imperial images, from Constantine to Theodosius? How are imperial images shaped by the fact that they were produced and promoted at the behest of the emperor? Nine contributors from Spain, Italy, the U.K. and the Netherlands will guide the reader about these issues by analyzing how imperial power was articulated and manipulated by means of literary strategies and ico…
Psogos: The Rhetoric of Invective in 4th Century CE Imperial Speeches
The Dynamics of Rhetorical Performances in Late Antiquity
This book argues that narrations of rhetorical performances in late antique literature can be interpreted as a reflection of the ongoing debates of the time. Competition among cultural elites, strategies of self-presentation and the making of religious orthodoxy often took the shape of narrations of rhetorical performances in which comments on the display of oratorical skills also incorporated moral and ethical judgments about the performer. Usin…

Deconstructing Praise: Zosimus’ Conception of the Emperor Theodosius’ ἀνδρεία
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the ethical and moral portrait of the emperor Theodosius in Zosimus’ New History . It is my working hypothesis that the historian subverted the rhetorical topics usually deployed in the basilikòs lógos to accommodate the emperor’s ethical portrayal to his religious and historiographical programme. In order to do so, Zosimus emptied the concept of ἀνδρεία from its philosophical and moral connotations
The Literary Connoisseur. Socrates Scholasticus on Rhetoric, Literature and Religious Orthodoxy
This paper explores Socrates Scholasticus' accounts of rhetorical deliveries and allusions to bishops' oratorical displays in the light of new tendencies in late antique literature and historiography with the aim of concluding that the Church historian considered that rhetorical deliveries were part of the negotiating process in the search of religious consensus
The Purpose of Rhetoric in Late Antiquity: From Performance to Exegesis
In this volume Alberto J. Quiroga Puertas brings together twelve essays that deal with the role and importance of rhetoric in theology, literature and politics in Late Antiquity, more specifically in the fourth century CE. The point of departure of this book is the assumption that religious, cultural and political issues of that period were fought in the rhetorical arena. Thus aspects related to religious orthodoxy and the condemnation of heresie…
