Isocrate et ses lecteurs dans le Panathénaïque

Abstract

The Panathenaicus is full of multiple reader figures, which are found in all parts of the work. In this paper, we shall examine how these external and internal readers and the two reading episodes that open and close the speech exemplify Isocrates' pedagogy and provide us with a way of reading the work that accounts for its complexity and unity. The Panathenaicus thus appears as a thorough reflection on the reception of Isocrates’ work and on the sustainability of his political action after his death.
