Hermogenes’ Progymnasmata
Get PDFRelying on the historical-critical method, I propose an analysis of the nature of the Gospel of Luke and its possible dependency on Greek rhetorical conventions. Taking into account the highly literate nature of this Gospel, this paper puts forward the case that its author has been educated in the Greek rhetorical exercise of encomion, as documented in Hermogenes’ progymnasmata. Empowered by his knowledge of encomion, Luke probably used Mark as a template to compose a eulogy of Jesus of Nazareth. In light of this, I suggest a list with the correspondence between Hermogenes’ encomiastic topics and the pericopae used by Luke in his Gospel. Considering the hypothesis that the Gospel of Luke is best understood as an encomion, I propose an assessment of its implications to the reconstruction of the historical Jesus

Galatians and the περὶ ἰδεῶν λόγου of Hermogenes : a rhetoric of severity in Galatians 5–6
Get PDFSevere style in Galatians 5–6 is investigated from the perspective of the περὶ ἰδεῶν λόγου
of Hermogenes. Galatians 5:7–12 is an extreme example of what Hermogenes would
categorise as vehemence. At the same time, it signifies a turning point: Harshness against
the opposition peaks and is relentlessly sustained, whilst severity against Paul’s Galatian
recipients is slackening, but only up to a point. A résumé of the twofold trajectory of
severity in Galatians is presented. Hermogenes can significantly help us appreciate the
sustained presence, form and functioning of severe language in Galatians; much better
than any or a combination of the three classical genres of speech topics. In view of the
correspondences between Galatians and Hermogenes, it may even be asked whether Paul
was familiar with traditional rhetorical material that in some form eventually also reached

Hermogenes’ life : stylistic debates and circles in Philostratus’ Lives of the Sophists
No full textThe inclusion of Hermogenes (c. 160-230?), a writer of rhetorical treatises on issues and on ideai, in Philostratus’ Lives of the Sophists (written c. 220-30) is problematic. The rhetorician is not connected to other sophists treated by Philostratus and the way he is presented, a talented young man who dashes everyone’s expectations, raises questions. I make the hypothesis that his inclusion in the Lives is informed by theoretical debates. This paper explores this idea first by examining possible interactions between (relatives of) sophists found in Philostratus and Hermogenes, and secondly comparing Hermogenes’ reading list at the end of his treatise On Types of Style with the list of ten ancient sophists in Philostratus’ work. The confrontation between the two lists shows that Philostratus situates his project in relation to rhetorical treatises, and thus in part against Hermogenes. He does so by changing the axiological and semantic value of key stylistic terms, by presenting Demosthenes as the paradigm of rhetorical norm and a byproduct of the sophistic tradition, and by adopting the structure of the canon of ten Attic orators. Secondly, Hermogenes seems to have engaged in polemics against rhetoricians closely associated with members of Philostratus’ circle. This may have prompted Philostratus to disparage a threatening rival. I conclude that the Life of Hermogenes may provide us with clues about the early reception of the rhetorician’s works in Antiquity
Would Hermogenes Watch Television? Antiquity’s Textbook for Media Scholars
No full textThe purpose of this article is to examine whether the work of Hermogenes can be useful in
the analysis of the media. The Polish translation of the Byzantine textbook becomes an opportunity
to reflect on the universality of the principles of creating persuasive messages.
According to Hermogenes, rhetoric is the practical, civic skill of persuasion on important
matters. Today, his ideas can be applied to television news. His textbook teaches us how to analyse
the structure of television programmes, how to find – at a verbal and visual level – rhetorical
figures
