“…Language, thus, should function poetically, in the ancient sense that Heidegger invokes, by allowing something not present to the mind to be brought forth (Heidlebaugh, 2001, p. 96). It is most nobly used to produce effects on the soul and ''create illusions and excite the listener'' (Heidlebaugh, 2001, p. 41) in the way that tragedy does (Rosenmeyer, 1955).…”

Although the dialogical nature of publics and public deliberation has been acknowledged frequently in recent years, several scholars have challenged the viability of dialogue as an instrument of public deliberation. This study discusses some of those challenges and examines a form of invention drawn from sophistic rhetoric for its potential to contribute to the theory and practice of facilitated dialogue on public issues. An extended illustration is drawn from an actual multilogue on a public issue.

“…For a discussion of apate in relation to Gorgias, see Rosenmeyer 1955. http://akroterion.journals.ac.za FUTTER to be connected with the supernaturalist framework of magic and enchantment. At any rate, (8-14) of the Helen aim to prove the efficacy of logos by reference to the power of poetry (9), of 'divine prophesies chanted with words' (10), and persuasion through arguments (13).…”

Although the stated objective of Gorgias' Encomium of Helen may be doubted 1 -to free Helen from blame for leaving her home and husband to go to Troy with Paris (2) -it surely contains a serious point. The speech seems more accurately an encomium of the logos, than Helen, leading Charles Segal to conjecture that it 'may even have served as a kind of formal profession of the aims and the methods of his art ' (1962:102). Some regard it as one of our best insights into the state of late fifth century rhetorical theory (Kerferd 1981:78).The present essay aims to re-construct the rhetorical theory described in and exemplified by Encomium of Helen. This reconstruction is offered as an alternative to the seminal and still orthodox interpretation developed by Charles Segal in 1962. Although Segal's account is extraordinarily comprehensive, it will be shown that it fails to satisfactorily accommodate the essential doxastic element in Gorgias' analysis of persuasion.Gorgias' rhetorical theory may be analysed into three components: a theory of the soul; a theory of the logos; and an account of the relation between logos and soul. This bare analytical framework is developed in the essay as follows: §2 analyses the psychological concepts in terms of which Gorgias develops his rhetorical theory; §3 discusses Gorgias' conceptualisation of the logos, and argues that Segal's explanation of its persuasive mechanisms is incomplete; §4 offers an alternative account, and §5 outlines and responds to an objection to the proposed interpretation. 2Although the Helen does not present an explicit theory of the soul -it is, after all, an epideictic encomium, and not a psychological treatise -some elements of what may be a broader psychological theory can be extracted from the speech. Gorgias' treatment of the soul is given in terms of two 'physical' metaphors which are juxtaposed and interwoven in the text (Segal 1962:104). The first of these compares the character and affectations of soul to those of the body: just as different kinds of drugs produce different effects on the body, so too different sorts of logoi have different effects on the soul (14). The second physical metaphor 1 Gorgias describes the speech as a παίγνιον (21), a word which suggests 'play'.http://akroterion.journals.ac.za

“…Predominam estudos muito genéricos sobre alguns tipos de engano trágico (KÄTZLER, 1959;SOLMSEN, 1968;STROHM, 1949/50;GOWARD, 1999) e estudos isolados sobre alguns dos enganos utilizados por Ésquilo (ROSENMEYER, 1955;TORRANO, 2010), por Sófocles (PARLAVANTZA-FRIEDRICH, 1969;GAR-VIE, 1972;MOORE, 1977;KNOX, 1979b;HESTER, 1980HESTER, e 1981STEVENS, 1986;GROTE, 1997;BACELAR, 2004) e por Eurípides (DENNISTON, 1939;WEBSTER, 1967, p. 279;MUSURILLO, 1974;MIRTO, 1980;HAMILTON, 1985;CROPP, 1986;BASSI, 1987;HARTIGAN, 1986HARTIGAN, e 1991PORTER, 1994;HESK, 2000;RIBEIRO JR., 2006;MASTRONARDE, 2010).

uxori optimae AGRADECIMENTOS v À Universidade de São Paulo, por todos os recursos acadêmicos disponibilizados durante o curso de Pós-Graduação.À minha paciente e atenta orientadora, Adriane da Silva Duarte, pela supervisão e pela revisão dos textos gregos -τὸν κρατοῦντα µαλθακῶς θεὸς πρόσωθεν εὐµενῶς προσδέρκεται (A. Ag. 951-2).Aos docentes da banca de qualificação, Fernando Brandão dos Santos, da UNESP, e José Antonio Alves Torrano, da USP, pelo incentivo e pelas proveitosas críticas e sugestões.Aos amigos e colegas do Grupo Especial agradecimento cabe à Isabella que, durante seus estudos na Alemanha, encontrou tempo para localizar importantes referências bibliográficas encontradas somente nas bibliotecas universitárias alemãs, e ao Christian, que gentilmente disponibilizou o texto de sua Tese de Doutorado, ainda não publicada, e outras preciosas referências.Ao Daniel Rinaldi, amigo e docente da Universidade Autónoma do México, pelo generoso auxí-lio com várias referências bibliográficas e pela produtiva discussão preliminar sobre os dois Hipólitos e sobre os enganos amorosos da poesia épica.Ao João Batista Toledo Prado, amigo e docente da Faculdade de Ciências e Letras de Araraquara, UNESP, pela leitura das versões preliminares da Tese. O João Batista teve, ademais, a gentileza de me aconselhar sobre a tradução da maior parte os textos latinos do trabalho -muito lhe devo pela exatidão e pela elegância do resultado final.Ao meu pai, Wilson Alves Ribeiro. Sua atenta e exigente revisão do vernáculo, em todas as fases do trabalho, aumentou consideravelmente a concisão, a clareza e a fluidez do texto final. O engano, enquanto reflexo da realidade, está representado em diversos gêneros literários e na literatura de várias épocas. Este trabalho analisa, primariamente, os antecedentes míticos, o léxi-co e a estrutura dramática dos enganos mencionados ou encenados em todas as tragédias conhecidas de Eurípides, completas ou fragmentárias. Precede a análise um breve estudo da teoria comportamental do engano e de sua presença na literatura antiga, notadamente a da Grécia (dos poemas homéricos até o fim do século -V), e um excurso sobre o engano na poesia pré-euripidiana e sua influência na tragédia grega. A última parte do estudo compreende uma sistematização da estrutura do engano euripidiano e de seu léxico.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: literatura grega; tragédia; poesia; Eurípides; engano; grego antigo; fragmentos. Deception, as a reflex of our reality, can be found in many literary genres and literary compositions of all times. This work deals primarily with the mythical antecedents and with lexical and dramatical structure of deceits briefly described or staged in all known Euripides' complete or fragmentary tragedies. A study on behavioral deception theory and its presence in ancient literature, specially in Greece from homeric poems until the fifth century B.C., with an excursus on deception in pre-euripidean poetry and its influence in Greek tragedy precedes the analysis. A systemization of lexical and structural characteristic...
