Designed primarily for readers approaching the subject for the first time, it traces the history of rhetoric from Homer to Byzantium. It provides an overview of rhetorical theory and practice, offers accounts of the most important orators and rhetoricians, and considers rhetoric in a number of historical, social, political, intellectual, and literary contexts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e comprises a series of newly commissioned essays by experts in the field.

The volume incorporates new material providing fresh insights into how the Greeks saw and used rhetoric, and into its far-reaching effects on ancient Greek society. An introductory chapter discusses the idea of rhetoric, the status of rhetoric studies (present and future), and summarises the various chapters of the volume.  \"Exploring rhetoric from a variety of sociohistorical and thematic contexts from the Homeric to the Byzantine period, this companion sets a standard that should serve the discipline for some years to come.\" (Choice)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “The editor…has provided us with a fresh overview of important areas…in chapters that bristle with information and insight.
