Synopsis
Excerpt from The Orations of Isocrates
Wnnn the publishers requested me to undertake the present work. They kindly placed at my disposal a ms. Translation as far as 5 70 of the Philippus by another scholar, Mr. A. H. Dennis. Of Exeter College. Oxford. Who has been prevented by professional engagements from revising and completing it. This portion of the volume I have left as far as possible as it was written. Only making alterations when rendered necessary by the use of a later edition of the text; and, in some few cases. Where another rendering appeared to be preferable. For the General Introduction, short Introductions to each speech. The whole of the Notes, and the remainder of the Translation, I am responsible. So far as I am aware. This is the first attempt at a complete English translation of the works of Isocrates. Although, as a rule. He is an easy author to understand, the elaborate correspondence of clauses. And even of words, in the original renders it dim cult to represent him satisfactorily in English. And I can only hope that my version may be found fairly correct.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and works of a prominent figure in classical Athenian society, offering a comprehensive exploration of his significant contributions to education, rhetoric, and political thought during the 4th century BCE. As a renowned teacher and orator, the author's influence extended far beyond the walls of his prestigious school, shaping the minds of influential statesmen, historians, and playwrights. Set against the backdrop of a turbulent era marked by the Peloponnesian War and the rise of Macedon, the book examines the author's unique perspective on Athenian democracy, his advocacy for pan-Hellenic unity against Persia, and his complex relationship with prominent figures like Philip of Macedon. The author's nuanced political views, often characterized by a yearning for a bygone era of Athenian greatness, are thoughtfully analyzed, shedding light on his ideals and the challenges he faced in a rapidly changing world. This book explores the author's profound impact on the development of rhetoric and education in ancient Greece. His emphasis on the art of expression as a cornerstone of a well-rounded education, his distinctive style characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and a focus on ethical considerations, and his critical stance against the sophists of his time are all thoroughly examined. Through its insightful analysis, the book reveals the enduring relevance of the author's ideas on education, rhetoric, and political thought, offering valuable lessons for contemporary readers seeking to understand the complexities of classical Athenian society and the timeless power of effective communication.
