Antithesis In The Attic Orators From Antiphon To Isaeus A Dissertation (1915)

Antithesis In The Attic Orators From Antiphon To Isaeus: A Dissertation (1915) is a scholarly work by John Emory Hollingsworth. The book explores the use of antithesis in the speeches of the Attic Orators, a group of influential Greek speakers who lived in Athens between the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. Antithesis is a rhetorical device that involves contrasting two opposing ideas or phrases in order to create a powerful effect. Hollingsworth argues that the Attic Orators were masters of antithesis, and that their use of this device was a key factor in their success as speakers. The book provides detailed analyses of the speeches of several Attic Orators, including Antiphon, Lysias, Isocrates, and Isaeus. It also includes a discussion of the historical and cultural context in which these speeches were delivered. Overall, Antithesis In The Attic Orators From Antiphon To Isaeus: A Dissertation (1915) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek rhetoric and the art of persuasion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
