		Experimentation with Peitho so far has shown that it is capable of representing various approaches to thinking about critical thinking: the unit elements can capture strategies of reasoning.

		This paper aims to present a definition of peitho (persuasion) as a 'female' rhetoric, that is an uncodified, untaught, version of persuasive speech, in tragedy.
		Peitho, in tragedy, is the means by which female characters persuade others (or in Medea's case, themselves) to adopt courses of action which are ruinous.
		Peitho is indeed a powerful being, she is the eldest daughter of Tethys and Ocean and has charge of young men all over the earth (Hesiod, Theogony 346-8).

		One of the major difficulties in Naas's work is his tendency to pursue the radical aspects of Derrida's thought and at the same time to slip back easily and comfortably into conventional presuppositions which he himself otherwise rejects.
		In this he amplifies one of Detienne's seminal remarks on peitho in another work which has significantly guided Naas's study, Les Maîtres de vérité dans la Grèce archaïque, where Peitho is observed to be "fondamentalement ambivalente: benefique et malefique" (63).
		Naas recommends "good antidotes" to the maleficent "psychologization of the individual" which improperly applies notions that are, even in the fifth century, "still in their infancy," "still struggling against pre-urban, mythological conceptions" (23).

		However, this Peitho appears to be an altogether different figure from the Peitho associated with beguiling eloquence and the power of rhetoric.
		In a few scattered literary references and on numerous Greek friezes and vases Peitho is typically depicted as an attendant in the company of Eros and Aphrodite.
		Peitho, according to this view, is most successful when she presents valid, compelling arguments instead of resorting to cunning deceptions or turning on her sexual charms.

		A thorough review of the evidence for Peitho cults includes a rejection of Rubensohn's assertion that Paros houses the oldest attested cult of Peitho (113) and the suggestion that Peitho's cult at Thasos may have been an import from Athens.
		As for Peitho's Athenian involvement with Aphrodite Pandemos, which leans heavily on iconography, S. argues that Peitho's role in the erotic sphere is intimately concerned with her rhetorical persona, though she is elsewhere content to treat Peitho's political and erotic spheres as mutually exclusive.
		In a similar vein, critical determination of what even constitutes a personification is lacking: Kraipale (on a chous in Boston) is cited as a personification with comic intent, although most writers on the subject have taken this figure to be a maenad and not a personification at all (14).

		“Obey” is PEITHO and means to convince, persuade, to appeal to, win over, to strive to please, conciliate, pacify, set at ease and, in a certain sense, obey.
		Then, in Chapter 13, the admonition is given to, “obey those who have rule over you” Since it was a case of ceasing to abide in Christ and going back to living by law-keeping, that which they were to “obey” was the urging of their leaders to stay in Christ.
		And since it is also in the imperative mood, we translate, “allow yourselves to be persuaded by your leaders”, or” follow the godly counsel of your leaders”.

		Victor Bers, p182, n.1, discusses 816-9, but assumes that Hecabe is speaking of the same form of Peitho at 1193-5 and states 'she seems to hint that professionals exist, that men might employ, but they are self-deluding charlatans'.

		Unlike the cults of Themis and Nemesis that arise in specific locales and are disseminated through epic, Peitho (Persuasion) is associated almost exclusively with a single Olympian, Aphrodite.
		The effect of Persuasion can be visual as in her adornment of Pandora (so that Pandora will persuade the eye) or verbal/rhetorical as revealed in Pausanias' description of Peitho's sanctuary at Sikyon (2.7.7f.) Once the local population had appeased (persuaded) Apollo and Artemis, the two took up residence at Sikyon.
		The best-known literary appearance of Peitho's cult where Aphrodite is joined with Peitho's rhetorical aspect occurs in Euripides' Hippolytus.
