	Chronology - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This changed point of view regarding the chronology of history may without hesitation be ascribed to the influence of evidence obtained in a single field of inquiry, the field, namely, of archaeology.
		The key to the mysteries of Egyptian history had indeed been found, thanks to the recent efforts of Thomas Young and Champollion, but the deciphering of inscriptions had not yet progressed far enough to give more than a vague inkling of what was to follow.
		Notwithstanding the allurements of the subject, such conservative historians as Grote were disposed to regard the problems of early Grecian history as inscrutable, and to content themselves with the recital of traditions without attempting to establish their relationship with actual facts.

	Hellanicus - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		HELLANICUS of Lesbos, Greek logographer, flourished during the latter half of the 5th century B.C. According to Suidas, he lived for some time at the court of one of the kings of Macedon, and died at Perperene, a town on the gulf of Adramyttium opposite Lesbos.
		He transcended the narrow local limits of the older logographers, and was not content to repeat the traditions that had gained general acceptation through the poets.
		Dionysius of Halicarnassus censures him for arranging his history, not according to the natural connexion of events, but according to the locality or the nation he was describing; and undoubtedly he never, like his contemporary Herodotus, rose to the conception of a single current of events wider than the local distinction of race.

	Telling Stories in Athenian Law
		But the most powerful and overriding story in law today may be that of the progressive history of law as an institution grounded in reason and working for the betterment of humankind.
		The trial lawyer’s job (or in Athens the logographer’s job) is to tell the story he wants the jury to believe and tell it as effectively as possible.
		Thus, the fact that Lysias 1 or Antiphon 1 or any other Attic speech relies on a narrative account of events and uses stereotypical motifs to construct that account should be taken as a sign of the logographer’s success in making his case to the jury by using the legitimate art of storytelling.

		The logographers (from the Ancient Greek λογογράφος, logographos, a compound of λόγος, logos, here meaning 'story' or 'prose', and γράφω, grapho, 'write') were the Greek historiographers and chroniclers before Herodotus, "the father of history".

		The logographers, who set themselves to record the genealogies, chronologies and cosmologies which had been handed down orally from the past, soon found that the task led them to use their critical and rational powers to create a new individual synthesis.
		The development of history appears to have followed a rather similar course, although the actual details of the process are subject to much controversy.
		As far as Athens is concerned, history begins with the foreigner Herodotus, who, not long after the middle of the fifth century, incorporated parts of the story of the town in his work because he wanted to explain the role it played in the great conflict between East and West, between Europe and Asia.

	Thucydides' Peloponnesian War
		Historie, the Greek word from which our word "history" is derived, means 'inquiry' and indicates the nature of this new way of dealing with the past.
		Although the writings of the logographers were flawed as history when judged by Thucydides's high standards, nonetheless they did not consider themselves as story tellers in the epic tradition, but as inquirers, whose aim was to convey the truth to their readers through the application of rational criticism to their evidence.
		In the manner of the logographers, his travels are reflected in his Histories which contain accounts of various non-Greek places and peoples.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Papillon, Isocrates II
		It is common enough in Greek oratory for a speechwriter, called a logographer, to compose a speech for another person to present in a lawcourt, but it is unusual for a logographer to compose a deliberative speech, as Isocrates does in these two speeches.
		It was a difficult time in Athens' history because the allies had revolted from Athens' control, and Isocrates takes advantage of the occasion to broaden the issue from peace with the allies to peace with all Greek cities, again representing the notion of Greek unity that Isocrates continually advocates.
		This awareness of the ubiquity of persuasion and communication is one of the advances that modern rhetorical theory has emphasized in the history of rhetoric, and it is one of the truly modern aspects of Isocrates.

		108--Rosalind Thomas has shown 'history,' and especially personal history, to be always fluid and open to rewriting.[[3]] Rhetorical language is always one of at least two different, but equally authoritative, accounts of the way things are, and on this point Edwards is misleading as he reinstates the conventional dichotomy between rhetoric and truth at p.

		His career as a logographer would certainly have started by the mid 330s, and his metic status allowed him to devote himself entirely to it while he lived in Athens.
		This was a turning point in his career, elevating him to the status of one of the leading logographers of the day, and he flourished especially during the ten-year regime (317-307) of Demetrius of Phalerum, the puppet king of Cassander of Macedon.
		We know little about his career as a logographer and politician before the 340s, by which time he was a prominent political figure.

	Demosthenes (384-322 B.C.)
		Demosthenes' skill in his speeches against Aphobus was recognized by wealthier men in need of a logographer; he soon acquired wealthy and powerful clients willing to pay well for his services.
		He was an assiduous student of Greek history, using detailed historical parallels in almost all his public speeches, and reportedly copied out Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War eight times in order to improve his command of language and to absorb its history.
		He constantly asked the Athenians to recall their own history, to remember their past belief in democracy, and to remind themselves how much they hated tyrants.

		The title of logographer (from the Ancient Greek λογογράφος;, logographos, a compound of λόγος, logos, 'word', and γράφω, grapho, 'write') was applied to professional authors of judicial discourse in Ancient Greece.
		In the Athens of antiquity, the law required a litigant to make his case in front of the court with two successive speeches.
		The logographer would then write a speech which the litigant would learn by heart and recite in front of the court.

		Furthermore, although the author states in the first paragraph that she wants to explore the abstract notion of the effect of scientific discourse on political and social discourse, the article as it stands does little beyond an exploration of French revolutionary educational practices.
		If it were expanded to further explore the development of rhetoric in French educational history, this article would be of great use to a scholar interested in the subject.
		Aristotle, while addressing the matter of audience, did not believe that they were capable of a dialogic relationship with the speaker; they were just there to be informed, convinced, and have their judgment shaped by the orator.

		That movement first emerges into the clear light of history with the letters of Paul, written in Greek to Greek churches, and, as Harnack once remarked, Christianity remained a Greek movement almost to the end of the second century.
		Modern historians realize that history is not just a record of wars and dynasties but has to do with new ideas, currents of thought, and attitudes of mind.
		In my history of our Antiquities, most excellent Epaphroditus, I have, I think, made sufficiently clear to any who may peruse that work the extreme antiquity of our Jewish race, the purity of the original stock and the manner in which it established itself in the country which we occupy today.

		One of the most colorful figures in the history of philosophy, Socrates lived in Athens during the period of the two Peloponnesian Wars, in the second of which he served as a foot-soldier.
		He was known for his disheveled appearance and for his incisive questioning of the assumptions and beliefs of his partners in conversation.
		Although he could easily have escaped the death sentence that was handed down, Socrates refused to admit his guilt--Plato records his testimony in the Apology--and accepted the cup of hemlock.

		Susanne Said argues in "Herodotus and Tragedy" that numerous examples of typical tragic themes in the Histories indicate that tragedy was an important literary influence on Herodotus, while noting at the same time that his emphasis on the pervasiveness of instability in human affairs is more typical of epic than tragedy.
		Building on Henry Immerwahr's fundamental demonstration of the literary unity of the Histories, Irene J. de Jong in "Narrative Unity and Units" considers the various devices Herodotus used to articulate his complex narrative, noting in particular the importance of analepsis or flashback as a narrative device.
		A generation of exceptionally rich and varied research has revealed a new Herodotus, one who was a consummate literary artist, rooted in the intellectual culture of his time, and far closer in his thought and goals to Thucydides than had seemed possible to previous generations of scholars.

		Mellor points out that Syme was not a theoretician and had little patience for abstract theoretical trends in academia, which may be one reason why I almost always enjoy reading a paper by the late Oxford don.
		Syme was also interested, like Ernst Kantorowicz and others of his generation, in writing narrative history so as to spark the reader’s imagination.
		It is that kind of writing that drew me to history in the first place.
