	JewishEncyclopedia.com - CÆCILIUS OF CALACTE:
		Though Dionysius also wrote on several of the chief orators of Greece, it is either in Cæcilius or his contemporary Didymus that the first account of the caron of the ten Attic orators is found.
		In his earliest works on rhetoric (Tέχνη Pητορική and Περὶ Σχημάτωμ), Cæcilius showed himself a disciple of the older Attic teachers, who confined their attention to matters of form; but soon afterward he seems to have come under the influence of Dionysius, to whom may be attributed his interest in philologic and esthetic criticism.
		Together with his friend Dionysius, he was the representative in his time of the Attic style of oratory in contradistinction to the verbose Asiatic style.

	Publius Cornelius Tacitus: A Dialogue on Oratory
		Orators, it is true, have been raised to consulships by their contests and perils, but I prefer Virgil’s serene, calm, and peaceful retirement, in which after all he was not without the favour of the divine Augustus, and fame among the people of Rome.
		Not indeed that it was worth the state’s while to endure bad citizens that orators might have plenty of matter for their speeches, but, as I now and then remind you, we must remember the point, and understand that we are speaking of an art which arose more easily in stormy and unquiet times.
		Indeed, neither for an orator or even a man is that style becoming which is adopted by many of the speakers of our age, and which, with its idle redundancy of words, its meaningless periods and licence of expression, imitates the art of the actor.

		On the other hand, Isocrates was committed enough to his belief in natural ability to demand from readers as much as he demanded from orators: an intellectual investment in ideas to shape the ethos of a text whose persuasive force as doxa calls upon the reader to endow it with the conviction of episteme.
		If the Isocratean orator is expected to speak in a world where knowledge is always uncertain, the philosophical implications would point to a tension between the individuals desire to bring knowledge and discourse to closure and the communitys desire to open discourse to a wider field of participation.
		The successful orator was one who could consistently and seamlessly combine ideas drawn from mass ideology with moral principles and pragmatism in presenting a workable policy, a defense of his policy, or an attack on the policy of an opponent.
