Journal Article
On the threshold of rhetoric: Gorgias' \Ecomium of Helen\
2015
Overview
The \"Helen\" of Gorgias is designed to provoke the aspiring speaker to consider his relationship with society as a whole. The speech's extreme claims regarding the power of \"logos\" reflect simplistic ideas about speaker-audience relations current among Gorgias' target audience, ideas reflected in an interpretive stance towards model speeches that privileges method over truth. The \"Helen\" predents to encourage this conception of \"logos\" and interpretive stance in order to expose the intense desire and naïve credulity that drive a coolly technical appraisal of model speeches. The \"Helen\" thus manifests, with a playfulness suited to its liminal position, a concern for the ethical and social formation of those who might accept the invitation to study \"logos.\" OA
