There has recently been a great deal of scholarship on the origins of rhetoric, as well as on important 4th-century figures, such as Isocrates and Alcidamas. This volumes focuses particularly on the generation before Aristotle wrote his Rhetoric, the central text of ancient Greek rhetorical theory. Individual papers concentrate on different aspects of the Peripatetics' writings, both of Aristotle and Theophrastus, their thoughts on character, emotion, logos, style, and metaphor, the influences of dramatic writings, the relationship with Plato and with the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum , and the historical contexts. Some papers offer close readings of individual passages, while others tease out information based on fragmentary references. All of the papers offer original insights based on a thorough knowledge of the original texts.

This volume is dedicated to an intriguing Platonic work, the Laws. Probably the last dialogue Plato wrote, the Laws represents the philosopher's most fully developed views on many crucial questions that he had raised in earlier works. Yet it remains a largely unread and underexplored dialogue. Abounding in unique and valuable references to dance and music, customs and norms, the Laws seems to suggest a comprehensive model of culture for the entire polis - something unparalleled in Plato. This exceptionally rich discussion of cultural matters in the Laws requires the scrutiny of scholars whose expertise resides beyond the boundaries of pure philosophical inquiry. The volume offers contributions by fourteen scholars who work in the broader areas of literary, cultural and performance studies.

The 'Classic' narratology that has been widely applied to classical texts is aimed at a universal taxonomy for describing narratives. More recently, 'new narratologies' have begun linking the formal characteristics of narrative to their historical and ideological contexts. This volume seeks such a rethinking for Greek literature. It has two closely related objectives: to define what is characteristically Greek in Greek narratives of different periods and genres, and to see how narrative techniques and concerns develop over time. The 15 distinguished contributors explore questions such as: How is Homeric epic like and unlike Gilgamesh and the Hebrew Bible? What do Greek historians consistently fail to tell us, having learned from the tradition what to ignore? How does lyric modify narrative techniques from other genres?

How is it possible that modern scholars have labelled Maximus of Tyre, a second-century CE performer of philosophical orations, as a sophist or a ‘half-philosopher’, while his own self-presentation is that of a genuine philosopher? If we take Maximus’ claim to philosophical authority seriously, his case can deepen our understanding of the dynamic nature of Imperial philosophy. Through a discursive analysis of twelve Imperial intellectuals alongside Maximus’ dialexeis , the author proposes an interpretative framework to assess the purpose behind the representation of philosophy, rhetoric, and sophistry in Maximus’ oeuvre. This is thus as yet the first book-length attempt at situating the historical communication process implicit in the surviving Maximean texts in the concurrent context of the Imperial intellectual world.

The past is narrated in retrospect. Historians can either capitalize on the benefit of hindsight and give their narratives a strongly teleological design or they may try to render the past as it was experienced by historical agents and contemporaries. This book explores the fundamental tension between experience and teleology in major works of Greek and Roman historiography, biography and autobiography. The combination of theoretical reflections with close readings yields a new, often surprising assessment of the history of ancient historiography as well as a deeper understanding of such authors as Thucydides, Tacitus and Augustine. While much recent work has focused on how ancient historians use emplotment to generate historical meaning, Experience and Teleology in Ancient Historiography offers a new approach to narrative form as a mode of coming to grips with time.

Es handelt sich um die neue - und bei einigen Versen erste - Ausgabe der Progymnasmata des Sophisten Severus von Alexandreia (Severus von Antiocheia?).Wie dem auch sei, es existiert zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt keine vollständigeTextkritik dessen, was von seinen Progymnasmata übrig geblieben ist: sechs narrationes (mit mythologischen Themen) sowie zehn Ethopöien (mit homerischen, mythologischen und paradoxen Themen). Die einzigeGesamtausgabe verdanken wir Christian Walz (Rhetores Graeci, I, Stuttgart,1832), der sich jedoch nicht bemüht hat, den eigenen Text durch eine sorgfältige und intensive Untersuchung der überlieferten Manuskripte zu untermauern (er bediente sich tatsächlich einiger Manuskripte, ohne eine kritische Vorgehensweise festzulegen), der jedoch in seiner Ausgabe mindestens drei Ethopöien nicht berücksichtigen konnte, die erst jetzt vom Unterzeichner entdeckt und/oder Severus zugeschrieben wurden. Diese neuen Texte waren auch O. Schissel nicht bekannt, der zusammen mit seinen Schülern versuchte, in den Dreißiger Jahren die erste wirklicheTextkritik der Progymnasmata Severus' herauszugeben. Das Buch scheiterte angesichts der Tatsache, dass man lediglich in der Lage war, Textkritiken von sechs Ethopöien zu veröffentlichen (auf Grundlage einer geringen Anzahl von Manuskripten), ohne übrigens unveröffentlichte Stücke hinzuzuziehen, die von mir erstmalig ans Licht gebracht worden sind (vgl. E. Amato, in: "Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies‟ 46, 2006, S. 63-72, u. ders., in: Approches de la Troisième Sophistique, Bruxelles 2006, S. 363-377). Im Wesentlichen ist folglich die vorgeschlagene Neuausgabe der Progymnasmata Severus' nicht nur die erste, die tatsächlich auf einer vollständigen Untersuchung der überlieferten Manuskripte beruht, sondern vor allem die erste, die wirklich all das einschließt, was von ihnen übrig und zum Teil bis heute unveröffentlicht geblieben ist. Im Anhang: Erste vollständige kritische Sammlung der Testimonia und Fragmenta der Sophisten Hadrianos von Tyrus und Kallinikos von Petrai (auf Grundlage einer sorgfältigen und vollständigen Untersuchung von Manuskripten), und editio princeps der anonymen Ethopoiie "Meretrix redempta‟.

Rhetorical Strategies in Late Antique Literature: Images, Metatexts and Interpretation is a collection of essays that survey the rhetorical tropes and the metaliterary dimension of works by important authors in a period marked by intense and thriving contact between Classical paideia and Christian culture. The contributions of this volume dissect the reuse of Classical literature and the deployment of rhetorical techniques in the creation of texts and images meant for use in cultural and religious debates by building on recent interpretations of the late antique cultural landscape as a milieu in which our understanding of religious dichotomies requires a more nuanced reassessment. The authors treated in this volume include Eusebius of Caesarea, Methodius of Olympus, Gregory of Nazianzus, Nonnus and the emperor Julian.
