Rhetorical appeals in Lysias and Antiphon

profilekatkins1

Ancient rhetoricians, going back to Aristotle, famously divided the types of rhetorical appeal available to speakers into three categories: logos, pathos and ethos. Logical appeals were made to the hearer’s reason, pathetic appeals to the hearer’s feelings, and ethical appeals depended for their efficacy on establishing the authority and believability of the speaker. 


How do Lysias and Antiphon develop arguments of all three types? 

Which seem to be most important?


NOTE: Must reach 2.5 to 3 pages in length (12pt double space MLA). Must use evidence from provided PDF of speeches as well as cite including page number. 

Please provide interpretation on how the quote effectively uses the rhetorical device.
