Abstract
<p>A passagem final do <em>Panatenaico</em> (§§ 200-73) apresenta uma cena de uma conversa entre Isócrates e um dos seus discípulos, situação que teria precedido a publicação do texto, consistindo na única ocorrência de diálogo dentro do <em>corpus</em> dos oradores áticos. Este artigo propõe um exame dessa passagem final a partir de sua forma, tentando mostrar quais são as consequências do emprego do diálogo em um texto que se apresenta como a fala de um orador. Para tanto, proceder-se-á a uma comparação do discurso com obra daquele que foi o principal do cultor do diálogo em prosa na Grécia antiga – Platão. Para se estabelecer a comparação, escolheu-se o <em>Fedro</em>, não somente por ele conter excurso discutindo o valor da escrita quando comparada à dialética, mas também porque Isócrates é especialmente visado por esse texto, que termina com o elogio de Sócrates ao autor.</p><div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span><strong>Abstract</strong></span></p></div></div></div></div><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>The final passage of the </span><span>Panathenaicus </span><span>(§§ 200-73) consists in a dialogue scene between Isocrates and one of his former pupils, a situation that supposedly preceded the speech’s publication. The passage, being the only example of dialogue found in the </span><span>corpus </span><span>of the Attic orators, has attracted some attention from the commentators. This article examines the passage according to its form, trying to show the consequences of the introduction of a dialogue in a text that presents itself as the deliverance of an orator. To achieve this goal, I shall compare the speech with the work of the one who surely is the most representative composer of prose dialogue – Plato. More specifically, the comparison will be made with the </span><span>Phaedrus</span><span>, a text important not only because of its contraposition of writing text against spoken dialogue, but also because it contains the only nominal reference to Isocrates in the entire Platonic </span><span>corpus</span><span>.</span></p></div></div><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><span>dialogue; writing; ancient rhetoric</span></p></div></div></div>
