| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (p. 367-386) and index Before the beginnings: Hesiod on eloquence -- The emergence of Poiêsis, logos and Rhêtorikê -- Hellenistic rhetoric -- "Rhetoric" from Cicero to the second sophistic -- Theognis' Octopus: on poetry as rhetorical transaction -- Lyric enthymemes -- A "truest paradigm for Western Lyric": Pindar Isthmian 3, and Olympian 1 -- Argumentation indoors: Alcaeus and Sappho -- Solon sophôtatos: on lyric argument maximal and minimal -- Aristotelianism and grammar -- Toward modernity This book offers a counter-traditional account of the history of both rhetoric and poetics.
