Speeches of praise and blame constituted a form of oratory put to brilliant and creative use in the classical Greek period (fifth to fourth century BC) and the Roman imperial period (first to fourth century AD), and they have influenced public speakers through all the succeeding ages. Yet unlike the other classical genres of rhetoric, epideictic rhetoric remains something of a mystery. It was the least important genre at the start of Greek oratory, but its role grew exponentially in subsequent periods, even though epideictic orations were not meant to elicit any action on the part of the listener, as judicial and deliberative speeches attempted to do. So why did the ancients value the oratory of praise so highly? In Epideictic Rhetoric, Laurent Pernot offers an authoritative overview of the genre that surveys its history in ancient Greece and Rome, its technical aspects, and its social function. He begins by defining epideictic rhetoric and tracing its evolution from its first realizations in classical Greece to its eloquent triumph in the Greco-Roman world. No longer were speeches limited to tribunals, assemblies, and courts—they now involved ceremonies as well, which changed the political and social implications of public speaking. Pernot analyzes the techniques of praise, both as stipulated by theoreticians and as practiced by orators. He describes how epideictic rhetoric functioned to give shape to the representations and common beliefs of a group, render explicit and justify accepted values, and offer lessons on new values. Finally, Pernot incorporates current research about rhetoric into the analysis of praise.

Dès leur naissance en Grèce, la philosophie et la rhétorique se sont mutuellement influencées, et leur dialogue s’est poursuivi tout au long de l’Antiquité. Ces deux disciplines, qu’on aurait tort de figer dans une antithèse stérile, se rencontraient sur des terrains essentiels, comme la vérité, la justice, la politique, la délibération, la logique des raisonnements et l’analyse du fonctionnement de l’esprit, les éloges, la religion, l’enseignement, ou encore la critique des œuvres d’art. L’alliance de deux savoirs, qui étaient aussi des arts de vivre, construisait un modèle intellectuel et social de sagesse persuasive. Leur confrontation donna lieu à des débats aussi animés que lourds de conséquences. Le présent ouvrage jette une lumière nouvelle sur ces questions par le moyen d’études ciblées, consacrées à des auteurs, à des notions et à des formules, depuis le Ve siècle avant J.-C. jusqu’au VIe siècle après J.-C., de Socrate à Olympiodore, en passant par Platon, Aristote, Démosthène, Diogène, Théophraste, Philodème, Plutarque, Dion de Pruse, Marc Aurèle, Ælius Aristide, Plotin, Porphyre, Eunape, sans négliger des Romains comme Cicéron ou Quintilien. Il se compose de vingt-cinq chapitres, fruit de trente ans de recherches (1986-2016), qui furent publiés à l’origine sous forme de contributions à des revues et à des recueils. Certaines étaient devenues introuvables. Trois d’entre elles paraissent ici pour la première fois en français. Pour cette publication, tous les textes ont été soumis à une révision approfondie, de manière à constituer un ensemble unitaire.
