Zusammenfassung:Hellenistic oratory remains an elusive subject as not one Greek speech has survived from the end of the fourth century bc until the beginning of the first century ad. This book offers a wide-ranging study of the different ways in which Hellenistic oratory can be approached. It examines the different kinds of evidence which shed light on the dynamic character of oratory during the Hellenistic period. All of the chapters stress the pervasive influence of Hellenistic oratory and survey its different manifestations in diverse literary genres and socio-political contexts, especially the dialogue between the Greek oratorical tradition and the developing oratorical practices at Rome. The volume opens with a detailed introduction, which sets the study of Hellenistic oratory within the context of current trends in Hellenistic history and rhetoric, and closes with an afterword which underlines the vibrancy and sophistication of oratory during this period.
