Abstract

This volume contains the first scholarly commentary on the puzzling work Busiris – part mythological jeu d’esprit , part rhetorical treatise and part self-promoting polemic – by the Greek educator and rhetorician Isocrates (436-338 BC). The commentary reveals Isocrates’ strategies in advertising his own political rhetoric as a middle way between amoral ‘sophistic’ education and the abstruse studies of Plato’s Academy. Introductory chapters situate Busiris within the lively intellectual marketplace of 4th-century Athens, showing how the work parodies Plato’s Republic , and how its revisionist treatment of the monster-king Busiris reflects Athenian fascination with the ‘alien wisdom’ of Egypt. As a whole, the book casts new light both on Isocrates himself, revealed as an agile and witty polemicist, and on the struggle between rhetoric and philosophy from which Hellenism and modern humanities were born.

Abstract

This is the first edition of ten Funeral Orations of Michael Psellos based on all the manuscripts preserving those works and accompanied by a full apparatus fontium and the necessary critical apparatus. Some of those texts had been published by the Greek scholar Konstantinos Sathas at the end of the XIX c. Those editions hardly correspond to the contemporary standards. The same applies to several more recent editions, prepared by P. Gautier, which also leave much to be desired. The most important texts of our collection are the funeral orations for the patriarchs Michael Keroullarios, Konstantinos Leichoudes and John Xiphilinos, a personal friend of Michael Psellos. All the texts offer valuable details concerning Psellos's early life; at the same time they constitute an important testimony to the survival of the Late Antique Rhetoric in XI c. Byzantium. They constitute a necessary supplement to Psellos's more famous work, his Chronography, verifying and shedding a new light on the events narrated there.

Abstract

Demosthenes is often adjudged the statesman par excellence, and his oratory as some of the finest to survive from classical times. Contemporary politicians still quote him in their speeches and for some he is the supreme example of a patriot. This landmark study of this remarkable man and his long career, the first to focus on him for more than 80 years, looks at the background behind this reputation and asks whether it is truly deserved.

Abstract

Née dans un cadre scolaire, conçue à l’origine comme un instrument de formation et d’instruction de la jeunesse, la déclamation, qui n’était d’abord qu’un moyen, suscita un tel engouement qu'elle devint aussi très vite une fin en soi : si l’on déclamait au départ pour apprendre à parler, on déclamera bientôt pour le plaisir de déclamer ; le genre oscille donc entre instruction et distraction des élites. Par les jeux intertextuels et génériques qu'elle instaure avec d’autres productions littéraires, par les liens qu'elle tisse avec son contexte juridique, politique et social, la déclamation a été un élément essentiel de la vie culturelle antique, fonctionnant parfois comme une sorte de laboratoire des idées et des formes. Les textes ici réunis prennent en compte la déclamation antique, aussi bien grecque que latine, de Sénèque le Père jusqu’aux déclamateurs de la Troisième Sophistique, et au-delà, dans une perspective croisée permettant de mieux comprendre comment la déclamation a pu être – et rester – pendant près de deux millénaires la norme de toute culture supérieure, concourant à la transmission des valeurs, esthétiques, éthiques, juridiques, politiques, et à la fabrique des élites.
