Oratory has been highly valued by the Greeks since ancient times. The establishment of democratic forms of life contributed to its development. Therefore, eloquence reached its highest peak in Athens and in the cities of Sicily. Following the principles of rhetoric, Greek speakers spoke in a singsong voice, their speech approached rhythmic, accompanied by facial expressions and actor's body movements.

The most prominent figure in the development of Greek oratorical prose was the native of Sicily, the sophist Gorgias, a contemporary of Euripides and Herodotus. He said that the task of the speaker is to make the listeners believe him. To do this, he must captivate the audience with special oratorical techniques, which are now commonly called "Gorgian figures". These include metaphors, sound repetitions and antithetical phrases, when one half of the phrase is opposed to the other; at the same time, a special symmetry is observed: the number of words and. their placement in both parts of the phrase should be the same.

The influence of Gorgias theory extended to all types of Greek oratorical prose: to judicial, solemn and political eloquence.

Orator Foxy

The most famous court orator of Greece at the end of the 5th - beginning of the 4th centuries. BC e. was fox.

Based on the evidence of the ancients, it can be concluded that he was born in 459 and died after 380 BC. e.

Only once Lysias himself directly spoke at the trial against one of the former oligarchs of Eratosthenes, whom he considered responsible for the death of his brother. All other accusatory and defensive speeches were recorded by this Greek orator in the first person for other people who were supposed to speak in court themselves with the justification of their case. He was approached with orders by people of the most diverse social status and education, etc., and Lysias had to adjust his speeches to the cultural level and position of the customer, so that these speeches sounded natural in the mouth of this or that person.

Of the huge number of speeches attributed to the orator Lysias, 34 have come down to us. They are written plain language approaching the living colloquial speech. They feel the desire for the truth of life. Lysias is an orator-artist; in his speeches we find lively and vivid pictures of everyday life, convex and psychologically correct characteristics of people.

The best thing about the speeches of the orator Lysias is their narrative parts that recreate the situation. In these parts, he not only knew how to arouse sympathy for the defendant (if the speech was defensive), but also to weave into it a significant part of the argument that forestalls possible objections. At the same time, Lysias has neither anger nor pathos, characteristic of the speeches of some other Greek speakers: his tone is surprisingly calm, his arguments are clear, his expressions are precise and specific. The ancients already noted the purity of his language, the absence of both neologisms and obsolete words, as well as constructions alien to the language of his contemporaries.

As extensive as the narrative parts of Lysias' speeches are, so brief are their epilogues - sometimes they consist of several words.

The speeches of Lysias are significant not only as an example of the Greek oratory of that era; they introduce us to the everyday life of the Greeks, introduce us to the customs, everyday life, moral concepts, legal institutions of their time. Valuable information about this can be gleaned from any speech of Lysias. An example is the "Speech delivered at the Areopagus in defense of an unknown person accused of destroying a sacred olive tree." The culture of olives in Greece was one of the main sources of wealth for the state. In addition to trees belonging to private individuals, olive trees were scattered throughout Attica, supposedly grown from the blow of Athena's spear; they were considered sacred, and to cut down such a tree meant to commit a crime against religion, which was punishable by confiscation of property and expulsion of the guilty. During the Peloponnesian War, many trees died or were damaged.

If these facts were not known to us, we could draw them from the said speech of the orator Lysias. He compiled it for a man accused by sycophants (scammers-blackmailers) of destroying the sacred olive tree. This man claims that he bought his plot of land after the war, and there were no olives on it. As witnesses, he brings to court the persons to whom he leased the purchased land. Lysis puts into the mouth of the defendant numerous logical proofs of his innocence. The defendant says that the destruction of the tree would bring him only loss, not profit, and that, having destroyed the olive tree, he would be in the hands of his own slaves: “... Wouldn’t I be the most unfortunate person in the world if my servants were witnesses such a crime have become for the rest of my life not slaves to me, but masters? Thus, no matter how much they were guilty before me, I could not punish them, fully understanding that it depends on them to take revenge and get freedom for the denunciation myself ”(translated by S. I. Sobolevsky).

The defendant says that for him, a man who diligently performed all state duties, fought for the fatherland, spared no money in building ships and arranging choirs, it would be the greatest misfortune to lose civil rights.

Thus, we learn from this speech of the orator Lysias that cases related to religion were dealt with in the areopagus, and not in helia, and about the law that freed slaves for denunciation, and about who the sycophants were, and about the obligation of rich citizens to subsidize the construction of the fleet and theatrical performances, and about many other features of ancient Greek life. The testimony of an eyewitness is of great value to us even in relation to those facts that we know from other sources.

Orator Isocrates

Most bright representative solemn (or epideictic) eloquence of ancient Greece - orator (436-338 BC), student of Gorgias, founder of the rhetorical school in Athens. But rhetoric was taught in this school not as a formal discipline, teaching only the art of oratory, but as a means of knowing and spreading the truth.

Isocrates did not give speeches himself, but only taught eloquence and wrote speeches that spread throughout Greece. His most famous speech, the Panegyric, is a glorification of Athens; the speaker calls on the Greek communities to unite under the hegemony of Athens and Sparta.

Orator Isocrates

A characteristic feature of the oratorical style of Isocrates is pomp. He is the creator of the so-called period - complex sentence, which is a set of subordinate and subordinate sentences with a rhythmic beginning and a rhythmic ending, and which later became the norm for fiction. This Greek speaker also introduced a rule according to which gaps should be avoided - confluences of vowels in the composition of a word or at the junction of words.

The smooth, beautiful, symmetrically built periods of Isocrates gave his speeches a certain monotony and coldness; the form in them prevails over the content, and they do not have that animation that is so characteristic of the most outstanding political orator. Ancient Greece- Demosthenes.

Orator Demosthenes

(384-322 BC) was the son of an armory owner, but was orphaned as a child. His father left him a large fortune, but his guardians plundered him. Barely reaching adulthood, Demosthenes sued his guardians, but, although he won the process, he managed to regain only an insignificant part of the inheritance - a house and some money. This trial was the first impetus for the oratorical activity of Demosthenes, the most famous of the representatives of Greek eloquence. His name has become a household name of an inspired wrestler orator. The time of his life is the 4th century. BC e. - was an era of crisis of the Greek democratic policy. The defeat of Athens in the Peloponnesian War led not only to a deep decline in Athenian democracy, but also to a weakening of the connection between the policies, thanks to which Greece was able to resist expansion from outside. Now, the city-states, torn apart by internal contradictions, can hardly resist the new forces that have appeared on the political horizon, primarily Macedonia.

Demosthenes, long before the conquest of Greece by Macedonia, unraveled the danger threatening Greek independence and fought all his life as an orator and statesman against Macedonian expansion.

There was a fairly large party in Athens that adhered to the Macedonian orientation, that is, it believed that the struggle against Macedonia was useless and that it was necessary to submit to it.

Orator Demosthenes

The most striking of the political opponents of Demosthenes was the orator Aeschines. In his speech “On an Unscrupulous Embassy,” Demosthenes accuses Aeschines of betraying the interests of Hellas and colluding with the Macedonian king Philip. Aeschines managed to justify himself, but the oratorical struggle between him and Demosthenes continued for several years, and after Demosthenes' brilliant speech "On the wreath", which completed this struggle, Aeschines was forced to go into exile.

The name of Demosthenes is associated with the idea of ​​a man of great determination and iron will. Plutarch and other ancient authors say that he had physical defects unacceptable for a Greek speaker: he had poor diction, a weak voice and a "short breath" that forced him to interrupt the period, which prevented him from understanding the meaning of the phrase; during the recitation, he twitched his shoulder - this distracted the attention of the listeners.

Thanks to continuous and hard work, Demosthenes got rid of all these shortcomings. Practicing in recitation, he spoke, putting small stones in his mouth in order to work out a clear diction; the future great Greek orator read passages from poets aloud on the run, not stopping on steep ascents to learn to pronounce long phrases without taking a breath; exercising in eloquence, he strengthened a sword on the roof, pointed at his shoulder: the fear of being pricked made him by an effort of will refrain from twitching his shoulder, etc.

The speeches of Demosthenes as a political orator were designed for a large gathering of people, and this affected their structure: the style of speeches was compressed and severe; so as not to discourage the audience, the speaker, after making a brief introduction, quickly moved on to the point. His story is full of expression and dynamics, it is interrupted by rhetorical questions, it contains many metaphors, antitheses, personifications, comparisons. Demosthenes makes extensive use of prosaic rhythm and the “silence figure”, which consists in the fact that the speaker is emphatically silent about what must necessarily sound in his speech, and what listeners expect.

Demosthenes saw the shortcomings of the Athenian democracy of his time, fought against abuses and prejudices. In one of his speeches (IX, 36) he complains that the Greeks have lost the love of freedom, which at one time allowed them to defeat the Persians. Previously, they hated bribe-takers, considered bribery the greatest shame; he who was guilty of it was severely punished, without allowing either intercession for him or indulgence, and now bribery of generals and orators is in the order of things, and one who confesses that he accepted a bribe causes only ridicule.

The most famous oratorical speeches of Demosthenes are speeches against Philip of Macedon (the so-called "Philippis"), who conquered Greece in 338 BC. e. Like other speeches of Demosthenes, "Philippika" is remarkable for the power of argumentation and imbued with a passionate and courageous pathos of struggle.

In the third speech against Philip, he says that flattery and servility sound in popular assemblies, which harm the policy of any Greek state: slaves, and often we can see slaves who express what they want with greater freedom than citizens in some other states, but you completely expelled it from meetings ”(Demosthenes, IX, 3; translated by S. I. Radtsig ).

Already from these words it is clear that the orator Demosthenes was an unconditional supporter of democracy, which he considered the only acceptable state system. Any autocracy seemed to him unnatural, hostile to freedom and laws. In the speech “On the Criminal Embassy”, he says: “No, there is nothing in the world that should be feared more than such a situation when someone is allowed to rise above the majority” (Demosthenes, XIX, 296; per. S. And . Radtsiga).

After Philip's death, Demosthenes fought against his son Alexander the Great. At the end of life, in 324-322. BC e., Demosthenes was in exile. In 322, he took part in the revolt of Athens against Macedonia, and when the Athenians were defeated, he took poison to avoid falling into the hands of enemies who wanted to take the famous orator alive.

In 280 BC. e., 40 years after the death of Demosthenes, the Greeks honored his memory with a bronze statue with the inscription:

“If power, Demosthenes, you had such as reason,
The power in Hellas could not be taken by the Macedonian Arey "
(translated by M. E. Grabar-Passek).

Isocrates

(Greek Isokrates

(436-338 BC)

Athenian orator. Not only the court speeches of Isocrates, but also his political pamphlets were famous. Isocrates advocated an enlightened monarchy and spoke of the need to unite the entire Hellenic world in the face of the danger of Persian expansion. However, Isocrates failed neither to moderate the ambitions of the Macedonian king Philip II, nor to achieve the unification of the Greek states. According to tradition, Isocrates committed suicide after the defeat of the Greeks at Chaeronea.

Greek orator and publicist, spokesman for the interests of the rich strata of the Athenian slave-owning democracy. A student of the sophists Prodicus, Protagoras, Gorgias, and also Socrates. In 390 BC founded the school of rhetoric in Athens. Promacedon was the ideological leader. parties in Athens: he dreamed of an all-Hellenic campaign against Persia, led by Philip II. The creative heritage of I. - judicial and political speeches.

In the keynote speech "Against the Sophists" (XIII), he gave his view on the training of orators, believing that rhetoric should become a means of morality. and watered, education. For this, the teaching of law, history, literature, and the beginnings of philosophy was introduced into the course of study. According to I., three components are necessary for the successful mastery of the art of eloquence: natural talent, proper training and practice. The speeches of I. "Busiris" (XI) and "Praise to Elena" (X) can serve as an example of practical exercises on a mythologist, a topic. One already in these speeches, I. expresses certain ideas, which he will preach in the future. A milestone in the fate of I. yavl. Panegyric (380), written. before the conclusion of the 2nd Athenian Maritime Union. In this first own. watered, I.'s speech speaks of the need for all Greeks to unite in the fight against a common enemy - the Persians. Later, realizing that neither Athens nor Sparta would be able to lead the fight against the barbarians, I. searches among the monarchs strong personality, capable of uniting the Greeks, and finds it in the person of Philip of Macedon. Hellenes to fight the national enemy. In the Panathenaic Oration (XII), pos. known to us, the call for unity is painted tragic. foreboding the loss of policies of independence.
