He joined Plato’s Academy in Athens in 367 and remained there for twenty years.\n\nAfter spending three years at the Asian court of a former pupil, Hermeias, where he married Pythias, one of Hermeias’ relations, and living for a time at Mytilene, he was appointed by Philip of Macedon in 343\/2 to become tutor of his teenaged son, Alexander. After Philip’s death in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school, the Lyceum at Athens, whose followers were known as the Peripatetics.

Rhetoric, a manual for public speakers, was probably composed while Aristotle was still at the Academy and Isocrates was still alive. Instead of the sophistic and Isocratean method of imitating model speeches, Aristotle devised a systematic method based in dialectic, on which he had recently written the first manual.\n\nThe goal of rhetoric is to find the available means of persuasion for any given case using argument, the character of the speaker, and the emotions of the audience. Rhetoric, he says, is “a kind of offshoot from dialectic and the study of character, which is justly called the science of politics.”This edition of Aristotle’s Rhetoric, which replaces the original Loeb edition by J.

His authoritative introduction traces the work’s debt to earlier theorists (especially Plato), its distinctive argument, and the reasons behind its enduring relevance. The essay On the Sublime, usually attributed to “Longinus” (identity uncertain), was probably composed in the first century AD; its subject is the appreciation of greatness (“the sublime”) in writing, with analysis of illustrative passages ranging from Homer and Sappho to Plato and Genesis.\n\nIn this edition, Donald A. Russell has judiciously revised and newly annotated the text and translation by W. Hamilton Fyfe and provides a new introduction.\n\nThe treatise On Style, ascribed to an (again unidentifiable) Demetrius, was perhaps composed during the secod century BC. It is notable particularly for its theory and analysis of four distinct styles (grand, elegant, plain, and forceful). Doreen Innes’ fresh rendering of the work is based on the earlier Loeb translation by W.\n\nRhys Roberts. Her new introduction and notes represent the latest scholarship. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristotle is in twenty-three volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55471638872443,"sku":"9780674995635","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/6862\/0411\/files\/LOEBGREARIST23.jpg?v=1748597957"},{"product_id":"iliad-volume-i-books-1-12","title":"The Loeb Classical Library: Homer, Iliad, Volume I, Books 1-12","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of Homer’s stirring heroic account of the Trojan war and its passions.

The three plays in this collection show his abilities as the sceptical questioner of his age. Alcestis, an early drama, tells the tale of a queen who offers her own life in exchange for that of her husband; cast as a tragedy, it contains passages of satire and comedy. The tragicomedy Iphigenia in Tauris melodramatically reunites the ill-fated children of Agamemnon, while the pure tragedy of Hippolytus shows the fatal impact of Phaedra's unreasoning passion for her chaste stepson. All three plays explore a deep gulf that separates man from woman, and all depict a world dominated by amoral forces beyond human control.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hellenic Bookservice","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":55812450779515,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Second-hand","offer_id":55812450812283,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/6862\/0411\/files\/9780140440317.jpg?v=1749116550"},{"product_id":"the-bacchae-and-other-plays","title":"Euripides: The Bacchae and Other Plays","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePenguin Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhoenician Women\/Orestes\/The Bacchae\/Iphigenia at Aulis\/Rhesus. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough their sheer range, daring innovation, flawed but eloquent characters and intriguing plots, the plays of Euripides have shocked and stimulated audiences since the fifth century BC.

Epictetus, a Greek Stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicopolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. The Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature. In this personal, practical guide to the ethics of Stoicism and moral self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love.

Stanford in Penguin Classics. In the Oresteia Aeschylus addressed the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration. In Agamemnon, a king's decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution; The Libation Bearers deals with the aftermath of Clytemnestra's regicide, as her son Orestes sets out to avenge his father's death; and in The Eumenides, Orestes is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased. Forming an elegant and subtle discourse on the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, The Oresteia is a compelling tragedy of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":55812336288123,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Second-hand","offer_id":55812336320891,"sku":null,"price":3.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/6862\/0411\/files\/9780140443332.jpg?v=1749116559"},{"product_id":"jason-and-the-argonauts","title":"Apollonius of Rhodes: Jason and the Argonauts","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePenguin Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow in a riveting new verse translation Jason and the Argonauts (also known as the Argonautica), is the only surviving full account of Jason's voyage on the Argo in quest of the Golden Fleece aided by the sorceress princess Medea.
