@armorica9.bsky.socialBeowulf is about praise: who gets it, who gives it, what it costs. From the scop's song in Heorot to the lament at the barrow, the poem is a masterclass in epideictic.

@armorica9.bsky.socialHeresy was never discovered. It was voted in. At Nicaea in 325, the winning bishops named the losers, and the emperor enforced the label.

@armorica9.bsky.socialArm Yourself No. 4: PARONOMASIA — the pun as argument. Schmitt's 'Hawks vs. Hawkeyes' wordplay: the pun carries the charge.

@randyallenharris.bsky.social@randyallenharris.bsky.social@randyallenharris.bsky.social@armorica9.bsky.socialThe Athenian courtroom looked democratic.
