Dionysius of Halicarnassus had migrated to Rome by 30 BC, where he lived until his death some time after 8 BC, writing his Roman Antiquities and teaching the art of rhetoric and literary composition.   Dionysius’ purpose, both in his own work and in his teaching, was to  re-establish the classical Attic standards of purity, invention, and  taste in order to reassert the primacy of Greek as the literary language  of the Mediterranean world. He advocated the minute study of the styles  of the finest prose authors of the fifth and fourth centuries BC,  especially the Attic orators. His critical essays on these and on the  historian Thucydides represent an important development from the  somewhat mechanical techniques of rhetorical handbooks to a more  sensitive criticism of individual authors. Illustrating his analysis  with well-chosen examples, Dionysius preserves a number of important  fragments of Lysias and Isaeus.   The essays on those two orators and on Isocrates, Demosthenes, and  Thucydides comprise Volume I of this edition. Volume II contains three  letters to his students; a short essay on the orator Dinarchus; and his  finest work, the essay On Literary Composition, which combines rhetoric, grammar, and criticism in a manner unique in ancient literature.   The Loeb Classical Library also publishes a seven-volume edition of Roman Antiquities, by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, a history from earliest times to 264 BC.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729480917265,"sku":"NGR9780674995130","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0674995139.jpg?v=1771496693"},{"product_id":"roman-antiquities-volume-iii-book-dionysius-of-halicarnassus-9780674993945","title":"Roman Antiquities, Volume III","description":"Roman history for a Greek audience.
