Gorgias | Sample RTC

Here is a sample of an RTC I created for Gorgias of Leontini. The “impact” section below coms directly from an idea that Gorgias advanced in this most famous text, the “Encomium of Helen.” In that text, Gorgias write a formal speech in defense of Helen, whose kidnapping famously led to  the Trojan War. Gorgias tells us that Helen can hardly be blamed if she were lured away by speech, for “speech is a powerful lord.”
