Description de l'éditeur

How doesone construct a role for oneself in the fourth-century democratic city? Thiscommentary on Isocrates' Antidosis , which includes a full translation as wellas an extensive introduction, demonstrates that a rhetorician may do so byassuming roles that subvert many of the conventions invoked by the genre - anon-speaker in a rhetorical community, a rhetorician in a world whererhetorical performativity has derogatory connotations, a philosopher followingthe trial of Socrates. Moreover, Yun Lee Too demonstrates how the narrative of'self' in the Antidosis is to be understood as a sophisticated amalgam ofliterary, rhetorical, philosophical, and legal discourses.
