Both allegory and metaphor are linguistic 'tropes': their purpose is essentially ornamental. The distance posited here between meaning on the one hand and the form of its expression on the other has come under decisive attack in the work of twentiethcentury theorists, who have argued for the central role of metaphor in the construction of meaning. But how far in fact do the rhetorical handbooks represent the scope and subtlety of ancient thought on the matter? The eleven essays presented here address this question from a variety of theoretical perspectiveshistorical, philosophical, and literary-critical. Distinguished contributors examine the origin and meaning of the term 'metaphor', set ancient against modern theories of language, and compare theory with practice. The inclusion of papers devoted to allegory in the writing and exegesis of antiquity not only provides another way of testing the adequacy of ancient rhetorical theory but also extends the debate into areas of the literary life of antiquity that have been unjustly sidelined or neglected.
