The interdisciplinary approach from Greco-Roman education: Communicating vessels between rhetoric and politics in classical antiquity

Abstract

Rhetoric as a social practice and as a science, is part of the classic legacy inherited by transculturation through the assimilation of Spanish and French culture in Cuba, fundamentally. However, an approach to the rhetorical fact, from the communicative links with politics, is a necessity, meanwhile, the multifunctional look at the studies of political discourse and its repercussion anchor in this edge of the legacy. This bibliographical review article exposes the most outstanding links between rhetoric and politics in classical antiquity, collected in the judicial, political and epidiptic spheres; and these as a reflection of important aspects in Greco-Roman education, and in the exercise of Athenian democracy.
