Turning
to those who regard rhetoric as an art, but not as a
virtue, we find that Theodorus of Gadara is more
cautious. For he says (I quote the words of his
translators), “rhetoric is the art which discovers and
judges and expresses, mith an elegance duly proportioned
to the importance of all such elements of persuasion as
may exist in any subject in the field of politics.”
