L’actio di Odisseo e degli oratori del IV secolo nei commenti degli antichi
Abstract
The article reflects on the static position taken by Odysseus during the embassy to Troy described in Il. 3.312, and takes into account the points of view of ancient commentators. In particular, in the light of the debate on oratorical gestures that contrasted Aeschines and Demosthenes, we discuss the comment of Eustathius of Thessalonica who considered Odysseus as a precursor of performative attitudes that will be typical of the orators of the classical age.
