VALDES GARCIA, María Alejandra. La etopeya en Basilio de Cesarea. Nova tellus [online]. 2008, vol.26, n.2, pp.170-200. ISSN 0185-3058.

The ethopoiia is one of the preliminary rhetorical exercises orprogymnásmata that made up the training of the rhetor. This is one of the most complex exercises, as its implementation consisted in delivering an allocution befitting to a given addressee: in order for this to be done several aspects had to be taken into account, among which the character of the addressee and the situation where he/ she stood. The scope of this article is, then, to survey use of ethopoiia in some of the religious discourses written by Basil from Caesarea.
