Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the extensive use of language and thought figures by Isaeus, one of the most influential Greek orators, and their impact on Demosthenes, another prominent orator who became Isaeus's pupil. The author provides a thorough examination of the rhetorical strategies employed by Isaeus and Demosthenes, analyzing how they incorporated figures of speech, such as anadiplosis and asyndeton, and figures of thought, including questions and self-questioning, into their persuasive speeches. The analysis explores the historical context of these rhetorical devices in Greek oratory and the evolution of their usage from earlier orators like Antiphon and Lysias to the refined techniques of Isaeus and Demosthenes. The book sheds light on the complex relationship between these two orators, revealing the extent to which Demosthenes was influenced by Isaeus's innovative use of language and thought figures.
