1. isocrates

   Isocrates was an ancient Greek rhetorician, one of the ten Attic orators. Born in 436 BC, he is known for his contribution to rhetoric education and for the letters and speeches he wrote concerning moral and political issues. His work had a great influence on Greek and Latin literature. Despite being a renowned public speaker, Isocrates strongly disliked performing public displays, which differentiates him from his contemporaries like Gorgias and Plato. Also, the word "Isocrates" might refer to an Isocratic system in chromatography which operates at a constant composition of the mobile phase.

1. Isocrates

   Isocrates, an ancient Greek rhetorician, was one of the ten Attic orators. Among the most influential Greek rhetoricians of his time, Isocrates made many contributions to rhetoric and education through his teaching and written works. Greek rhetoric is commonly traced to Corax of Syracuse, who first formulated a set of rhetorical rules in the fifth century BC. His pupil, Tisias, was influential in the development of the rhetoric of the courtroom, and by some accounts was the teacher of Isocrates. Within two generations, rhetoric had become an important art, its growth driven by the social and political changes, such as democracy and the courts of law.

1. Isocrates

   an Athenian rhetorician, of a school that was an offshoot of the Sophists (q. v.), and the whole merit of whose oratory depended upon style or literary finish and display; he is said to have starved himself to death after the battle of Cheronea at the age of 98 because he could not brook to outlive the humiliation of Greece by Philip of Macedon and the destruction of its freedom (436-338 B.C.).
