Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the practice of using non-personal subjects, particularly natural and abstract ideas, within the structures of Attic Greek orators and historian Thucydides. The author investigates the stylistic effects of associating actions or qualities often attributed to people with non-personal subjects, known as personification. The book examines examples from literature, philosophy, politics, and other disciplines, providing a comprehensive overview of this literary device. By delving into the nuances of personification in Attic Greek, this book not only contributes to our understanding of classical Greek literature but also sheds light on the broader development of language, rhetoric, and the expression of abstract thought throughout history.
