Synopsis
Excerpt from Rhetorical Studies in the Arbitration Scene of Menander's Epitrepontes: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
In order, however, that the discussion of the two speeches may not be overburdened with explanations of rhetorical principles and precepts, and that these principles and pre cepts may be fresh in the mind of the reader as he ap proaches the consideration of the Arbitration Scene, I have thought best to preface the discussion of this scene by a statement of the more general and fundamental principles as expounded by Aristotle, who is supreme in the more theo retical and philosophical aspects, of the subject, with but passing reference here to Quintilian. An extensive use of Quintilian has been made, however, in the discussion Of the speeches themselves, in treating the details and practical considerations, in which matters Quintilian in his turn excelled.

Paperback. Condition: 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.
