Excerpt from Antithesis in the Attic Orators From Antiphon to Isaeus: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, (Department or Greek)
The Greeks were the first, so far as we know, to employ antithesis extensively; first to analyze it, and formulate the principles of its usage. Any scientific treatment of the figure must accordingly begin with them. The field of Attic eloquence has been chosen as being the most suitable for the study of the subject. And there is no better standard than antithesis for a comparative study of the rhetorical style of the several orators.
