Synopsis
Excerpt from The "Art" Of Rhetoric
Athens compelled statesmen to become orators. Themistocles and Pericles were the foremost states men Of their time. The former, although not specially distinguished for eloquence, was regarded as a most capable speaker; the latter was a great orator. It is much to be regretted that none of his speeches has survived but some idea of their lofty patriotism may be gained from those put into his mouth by Thucydides, while the genuine fragments, several of which have been preserved in Aristotle, are characterized by impressive vividness.
