Description

This Routledge book explores how narrations of rhetorical performances in late antique literature reflected the cultural debates of their era. Through analysis of texts from Themistius, Synesius of Cyrene, and Libanius of Antioch, the work demonstrates how descriptions of oratorical displays served as vehicles for moral and ethical judgement. The book argues that competition among cultural elites, self-presentation strategies, and the formation of religious orthodoxy were frequently expressed through narratives of rhetorical performances. By examining these texts, the author reveals how commentaries on oratorical skill functioned within broader intellectual and religious frameworks of late antiquity, offering insights into the values and concerns that shaped elite discourse during this transformative period.
