(Re)discovering a Rhetorical Genre: Epideictic in Greek and Roman Antiquity
Journal Title: Res Rhetorica - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Epideictic rhetoric has been traditionally stigmatized as flattery or empty show without any practical goal. Where does such attitude towards epideictic come from? To answer this question, we explore the ancien debate about the nature and the function of the epideictic genre. In the second part of this paper, we discuss the recent reappraisal of the epideictic among classical scholars and finally focus the attention on a promising field of research: epideictic speeches in honor of women.
