The Orator Demades: Classical Greece Reimagined Through Rhetoric by Sviatoslav D

Description: The Orator Demades by Sviatoslav Dmitriev Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This is the first monograph in English about Demades, an influential Athenian politician from the fourth century B.C. An orator whose fame outlived him for hundreds of years, he was an acquaintance and collaborator of many political and military leaders of classical Greece, including the Macedonian king Philip II, his son and successor Alexander III (the Great), and the orator Demosthenes.An overwhelming portion of the available evidence onDemades dates to at least three centuries after his death and, often, much later. Contextualizing the sources within their historical and cultural framework, The Orator Demades delineates how laterrhetorical practices and social norms transformed his image to better reflect the educational needs and political realities of the Roman imperial and Byzantine periods.The evolving image of Demades illustrates the role that rhetoric, as the basis of education and edification under the Roman and Byzantine Empires, played in creating an alternate, inauthentic vision of the classical past that continues to dominate modern scholarship and popular culture. As a result, the bookraises a general question about the problematic foundations of our knowledge of classical Greece. Author Biography Sviatoslav Dmitriev is an Associate Professor of History at Ball State University. He has published several books and articles on ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history.
