Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, a scholar with expertise in the arbitration scene of Menander's play Epitrepontes delves into the oratory present in the play and seeks to explore how conventions of the time are at play. Noting a particular praise of Menander's skills and analysis made by Quintilian, a noted Roman rhetorician, the author situates Menander as a playwright not only for entertainment, but as a teacher of rhetorical strategy. To provide context and fortify the main argument, the author offers a summary on historical rhetorical theory, primarily drawing on Aristotle and Quintilian, before moving into an analysis of the arbitration scene. Ethical and pathetic proofs and their effectiveness in delivering persuasive speeches are examined. Crucially, the author also examines the interplay between emotion and reason in effective speech, with consideration for delivery as it relates to the strength of argument. The author of this book provides compelling evidence for their thesis, which should be of interest to students and scholars of rhetoric.
