Man and the Word contains 79 surviving orations and fragments of orations in the grand tradition of imperial Greek rhetoric. The speeches, a rich source on the intellectual life of late antiquity, capture the flavor of student life in Athens, illuminate relations in the educated community, and illustrate the ongoing civic role of the sophist. This volume includes speeches given by Himerius in various cities as he traveled east to join the emperor Julian, customary declamations on imaginary topics, and a noteworthy monody on the death of his son. Extensive introductory notes and annotations place these translations in their literary and historical contexts. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v43. 410 0$aJoan Palevsky imprint in classical literature. 606 $aRhetoric, Ancient 610 $a4th century ad. 610 $aancient civilizations. 610 $aancient greece. 610 $aannotations. 610 $acustomary declarations. 610 $adeath of son. 610 $aeducated community. 610 $aemperor julian. 610 $aenglish translation. 610 $aextensive introductory notes. 610 $afamous speeches. 610 $ahimerius of athens. 610 $ahistorical context. 610 $alife in athens. 610 $aliterary context. 610 $amonody. 610 $arhetcomp. 610 $arhetoric and composition. 610 $asurviving orations. 610 $ateacher of rhetoric. 615 0$aRhetoric, Ancient. 676 $a808 700 $aHimerius$fca. 310-ca. 390.$0212565 701 $aPenella$b Robert J$0183644 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788574203321 996 $aMan and the word$92380603 997 $aUNINA
