About this book
In a pivotal moment of philosophical inquiry, "Μενέξενоσ" by Plato emerges as a sharp critique of the oratory practices prevalent in ancient Athens. This satirical dialogue uniquely intertwines irony with an exploration of rhetoric, specifically targeting the styles of influential figures such as Lysias and Isocrates. Through its incisive examination of the art of persuasion, the text challenges readers to reflect on the ethical implications of public discourse. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "Μενέξενоσ" invites a deeper understanding of the dynamics between rhetoric and truth. Engage with this essential work to uncover how Plato's insights remain relevant in contemporary discussions about communication and political influence.
