Charles Allen et al.

Gorgias Considers leading people to expect poetic language in rhetoric as essential
Anonymous Authored one of the oldest Latin manuals which is made up in four parts: invention and principal stasis theory, invention in deliberative and ceremonial oratory, invention and arrangement delivery; and Roman rhetoric and the Greek foundation
Aspasia Though to have taught rhetoric to Socrates and many Athenians sought her for instruction in the art of speaking as she was very influential in the era's leaders through her profitable prostitution business
Plutarch Focused on distinguishing the difference between biography and history as his biographies emphasize the person's moral virtues, public and private life, and familiar sayings
Isocrates The contemporary of Plato who discussed rhetorical theory and education together as he discussed the study of rhetoric being morally improving while the process of improvement itself seems to be rhetorical, acting by persuasion rather than by empirical demonstration or insight
Plato Believed that probabilities are mere images of truth the objective in rhetoric is to delineate the truth behind appearance
Aristotle First to teach Rhetoric at the Academy and the maxim is by definition a piece of received wisdom
Anonymous Believed in the ability to translate and redefine in an individual's own words
Cicero Believed in the three categories of speech: deliberative, forensic, and ceremonial as he identified himself with liberal political fractions
Longinus Linked technical proficiency and a noble personal character in the study of the sublime because only a person who possesses both can produce great writing
Quintillian Targeted efforts on becoming the poised orator who quality of mind is shaped by the study of moral philosophy, civil law, history, and poetry
Enlightenment Rhetoric
