Topic: Isokrates


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Electronic Antiquity v7n1 - David Whitehead
Isokrates' client (again a rich man) is attempting to thwart Kallimachos' efforts by activating, apparently for the first time, the new blocking procedure of paragraphe: this amongst other things requires him, the erstwhile defendant, to take the initiative and speak first.
(vi) Isokrates 16 On the Chariot-Team (peri tou zeugous) - hereinafter Zeug.
To make the case for Isokrates as a writer of more important and more innovative lawcourt speeches than he is normally given credit for need not be built on a blinkered attempt to deny their indebtedness to already-existing conventions of the genre.

 Greek 701/Assignment 8: Gorgias and Isokrates
Isokrates certainly does not neglect sound, but such extremes simply are not present (the passage cited makes some use of isokolon, brief alliteration [mikrois megethos] and parechesis [thei and ei]).
The point is that in Isokrates they are tools to be used at some times, but not others.
Isokrates' sentences are also very carefully structured, but simply more elaborate.

 Greek 701: Criticism
(Isokrates) seems to me to be better, as regards his nature, than to be compared with the speeches associated with Lysias and, what's more, to be tempered with a nobler character.
Isokrates avoids the placing together of vowels as ruining the joinings and the smoothness of the sounds, and he attempts to close his thoughts round in a period and a circle very rhythmical and not far distant from poetic meter, and he is more suitable for reading than for actual use.
In Isokrates himself, to be sure, there flourished many other graces which tend to hide this deformity, but in those who came after him, because their other successes were lesser, this fault is more apparent.

 Wiener Studien - Rezension
Isokrates und Platon fallen, wie U. betont, in jene Epoche, in der sich (auch aufgrund des steigenden Buchhandels) die Rezeptionshaltung grundsätzlich ändert: Neben der Rezeption nur durch den Hörer tritt um die Wende zum 4.
Der größere Teil des gut gegliederten Buches ist Isokrates gewidmet (13ff.), der bekanntlich durch seine Unfähigkeit, öffentlich zu sprechen, von vornherein auf die Vermittlung durch die Schrift angewiesen war.
Bei Platon erklärt sie die Hiatvermeidung in den Spätschriften (226) nur zum Teil mit dem Einfluß des Isokrates; man könne auch ein Bestreben des Autors annehmen, durch stilistische Brillianz die Rezeption seiner komplexen Gedankengänge angenehmer zu gestalten.

The rest members of the polyphonic group, “isokrates”, keep the «ίσο» (vocal drone), namely the sound of the tonic of the melody, creating the modal base of the song.
The isokrates’ role is particularly important; the louder the «ισοκράτημα» (keeping of the vocal drone) is, the more «βρονταριά» the song goes (i.e.
The perfection of the rendition of the polyphonic song presupposes the existence and the unity of the several voices–roles of the polyphonic group.

 Philip II - King of Macedon - Message Board - ezboard.com
Isokrates, in his letter to Philip II, exhorts that, "men of high purpose and exceptional gifts ought not to undertake enterprises which any of the common run might carry out with success."1 Philip is a man "of high purpose" who accomplished things that no one of the "common run" was capable of.
The Grecian orator was a thorn in the side of Philip, and was always opposed to Isokrates' and Aeschines' peace plans.
As Isokrates said, Philip as a man of "high purpose" did not take on the "enterprises which any of the common run might carry out with success," instead he seems to have set for himself the most difficult goals and then achieved them with a valour and brilliant cunning all his own.

The sensitivity of this issue is illustrated well by comparison with Isokrates' attempt to advocate the return of Amphipolis to Athens in his letter to King Philip, undoubtedly aimed both at the Macedonian court and the Athenian public, as well as by numerous references found in the Attic orators.
In particular, the use by Speusippus of reference to Alexander I's execution of the Persian ambassadors is shown by Natoli to be a misrepresentation of chronology and fact (81).
By careful exegesis of Speusippus' criticisms and close comparison with Isokrates' 'Philip', Natoli is able to show that Speusippus misrepresents the arguments of Isokrates in order to show the superiority of Antipater's, and hence the Academy's, appreciation of Philip's authority (84-94).

The isokrates co-chants with the psalti saying the syllables of the text with him and many times by a sign of the psaltis joins him in the intermediate or final cadences or he himself (the isokrates) does the cadences.
The usual argument is that the isokrates need to catch their breaths and rest especially in long pieces.
b) Their isokrates were trained to do ison ad hoc which would not sound well in a studio recording where a systematic approach would be required for a "professionally uniform" performance.

 Isokrates
Isokrates led the way for most of that process, though he disapproved of the leadership of Thebes (he was an Athenian after all).
Isokrates may also have had the constitutionally limited monarchs of Sparta in mind, too.
Perhaps it is significant that Isokrates is supposed to have starved himself to death (at the ripe old age of 102) after Philip became the master of Greece at Chaeronea.

In Norms and Nobility, chapter 3, Teaching the Father of the Man, David Noble discusses the teacher Isokrates.
“…..Isokrates’ educative aim was to form and adult, not to develop a child, and his method was to teach the knowledge of a mature mind, not to offer relevant learning experiences at the level of the student’s stage of psychological development.”
