	Corax of Syracuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corax (Korax), along with Tisias, was one of the founders of Greek rhetoric.
		Other scholars contend that Corax and Tisias were the same person, described in one fragment as "Tisias, the Crow" (Corax is Greek for "crow.")
		His pupil, Tisias, is said to have developed legal rhetoric further, and he may have been the teacher of Isocrates.

	Rhetoric and the World's First Legal Argument
		Like many young men with an appetite for worldly success, Tisias sought training from Corax in the hope of being able to sue his way to wealth and influence.
		Wishing to make sure he was not duped by his teacher, Tisias contracted to pay Corax only after he had actually won a law suit.
		Tisias: Your Honors, I stand before you today in humility of spirit and purity of motive.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2001.03.09
		Rhetorical theory, therefore, in the fifth century is in a pre-history (pre-disciplinary) stage, and none of the assumptions about a "theory of rhetoric" being consolidated prior to the fourth century could be historically accurate.
		Tisias is mentioned first in the Phaedrus, and Corax is not mentioned at all in Plato, but twice in Aristotle.
		However, even if, Schiappa avers, we allow for a Tisias there is no evidence or even reason to assume he created a prose text on rhetoric or the parts of an oration or on the theory of to eikos (probability).

	Special Reports - From Courtroom to Boardroom
		Persuasive speaking may have had its origins when Eve convinced Adam to take a bite of the apple, but the teaching of speaking as discipline had its origin in Ancient Greece, or to be more precise, Ancient Sicily, which was a part of the Greek empire 2500 years ago.
		Corax, a philosophy professor, and his pupil Tisias, developed a training program around 460 BC to help Sicilians prove their ownership to property taken by a dictator, who had been overthrown and replaced with a democratic government.
		Tisias is supposed to have written the first law book.

	Rhetoric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first written manual is attributed to Corax and his pupil Tisias.
		Their work, as well as that of many of the early rhetoricians, grew out of the courts of law; Tisias, for example, is believed to have written judicial speeches that others delivered in the courts.
		Rhetoric was popularized in the 5th century BC by itinerant teachers known as sophists, the best known of whom were Protagoras (c.481-420 BC), Gorgias (c.483-376 BC), and Isocrates (436-338 BC).

		Erica’s presentation began with Corax and Tisias, the rhetorical tradition’s alleged discoverers of the discipline, and the myths and narratives that surround them.
		In the turmoil of territorial expansion and the overthrow of tyrants, rhetoric was born out of chaos, “discovered” by the Sicilian foreigners Corax and Tisias, and was subsequently named by authority as a device with which to create or restore order.
		The narratives about Corax and Tisias concerning the origins of rhetoric might actually display an unease on the part of the dominant culture at the creation of such a political force by a subjugated foreign people.

		Tisias: I will pay nothing, because if I lose the case it would prove your instruction was worthless.
		Unfortunately, Murphy only cites D.A.G. Hinks "Tisias and Corax and the Invention of Rhetoric" [Classical Quarterly 34 (1940), 59-69] as his source for the "ancient story." Perhaps this is an entirely different tale.

		The art of rhetoric originated in Sicily, when a democracy was established in Syracuse in 466 B.C. and Corax and his pupil Tisias assisted those who had been dispossessed of property to convince the judges that they had a just claim to its restoration.
		Corax put together some theoretical precepts based principally on the topic of general probability, called eikos (see Aristotle, Rhetoric 2.24.9), and Tisias developed it further, as Plato shows in Phaedrus.
		Gorgias, the Sicilian, came to Athens in 427 B.C., introduced the art of rhetoric into many parts of Greece, and had many disciples, among whom the most admirable and famous was Isocrates, the orator and teacher.

		The roots of our discipline extend back to the classical study of rhetoric, most notably Aristotle.
		Two of the earliest known rhetoricians, Corax and Tisias, residents of the ancient city of Syracuse, were the first to theorize on the practice of persuasion.
		While the study of rhetoric and oratory continue to be a central feature of the discipline, researchers have extended the purview to examine other forms of communication, such as interpersonal, group, and organizational communication, argumentation, as well as political and mediated discourse.
