In ancient Greece, a man’s success was largely defined by his oratorical ability to persuade, especially when it came to legal disputes. As early as 600 BCE, many young Grecian men were schooled in the art of rhetoric by pre-Socratic philosophers known as Sophists.
The art of rhetoric is very much alive and well in the 21st century, and its uses in written, spoken, and visual language continues to be practiced, refined, analyzed, and studied.
