Content: This volume focuses on the representation of the recent past in classical Athenian oratory and investigates the ability of the orators to interpret it according to their interests; the inability of the Athenians to make an objective assessment of it; and the unwillingness of the citizens to hear the truth, make self-criticism and take responsibility for bad results. Twenty-eight scholars have written chapters to this end, dealing with a wide range of themes, in terms both of contents and of chronology, from the fifth to the fourth century B.C. Each contributor has written a chapter that analyzes one or more historical events mentioned or alluded in the corpus of the Attic orators and covers the three species of Attic oratory. Chapters that treat other issues collectively are also included. The common feature of each contribution is an outline of the recent events that took place and influenced the citizens and/or the city of Athens and its juxtaposition with their rhetorical treatment by the orators either by comparing the rhetorical texts with the historical sources and/or by examining the rhetorical means through which the speakers model the recent past. This book aims at advanced students and professional scholars. This volume focuses on the representation of the recent past in classical Athenian oratory and investigates: the ability of the orators to interpret it according to their interests; the inability of the Athenians to make an objective assessment of persons and events of the recent past and their unwillingness to hear the truth, make self-criticism and take responsibility for bad results.

Series Statement: Brill's Plutarch studies volume 10

Content: The act of recording anything is at the same time an act of silencing. Choices are made at every step about what to keep and what to discard. Examining what Plutarch has left out enriches our understanding of what he has chosen to say, and both deepens our knowledge of the literary practices of this influential writer and opens new and fruitful lines of enquiry about Plutarch, his work, and his world

Note: This book examines passages in Plutarch’s works that foil expectations and whose silence invites closer examination. The contributors question omissions of authors, works, people, and places, and they examine Plutarch’s reticence to comment where he usually would , Includes bibliographical references and index , Notes on Contributors , Introduction , Part 1 Silence and the Narrator , 1 When Hermes Enters: Towards a Typology of the Silences of Plutarch’s Narrator and Their Uses in Characterization , 2 Plutarch’s Narratorial Silences in the Dion , 3 The Unspoken Bridge between Philosophy and Politics: Plutarch’s De genio Socratis , Part 2 Silence as a Literary Technique , 4 The Quiet Life: Silence in Plutarch’s Demetrius , 5 Fine-Tuning Portraits in the Lives : Omissions That Clarify the Lessons in Leadership , 6 Plutarch’s Silence about the Relationship between Military Success and Political Virtue in Sulla and Caesar , 7 The Repulsae of Aemilius Paulus in Plutarch’s Aemilius , 8 A Life in Pieces: Plutarch, Crassus 12.1–16.8 , 9 What about the Gold-Digging Ants?
