Description: Cicero cannot be said to do full justice to Isocrates: the prevailing topos is that of the master of rhetorical elegances shut away in his school and estranged from the real struggles, not that of the man of great knowledge and experience, able to advise individuals and kings in practical choices thanks to his superior 'philosophy'. In this reductive transformation to which Cicero subjects Isocrates, the pages in which Isocrates criticises the legal profession and the practice of the courts must have played a role [PhR]
