This article aims at a better understanding of the trial scene in Longus’ novel Daphnis and Chloe (2.12-19). It argues that Longus capitalises on contemporary rhetorical debates to elaborate on his own literary project. The insertion in Philetas’ verdict of a debated point (the storm) in stasis-theory aims at underlining the discrepancy between the means of persuasion mastered by an uneducated cowherd and by an educated reader. This allows a reflection on the incidence of the displacement of an elite social practice, the trial, into the rustic world of Daphnis and Chloe. This displacement is further emphasised in the trial itself by the juxtaposition of two speeches, one that is artificially simple (the Methymnaians’), and another naturally simple (that of Daphnis). Through this, Longus promotes his own stylistic project. I eventually contend that this scene explores the notion of credibility within Longus’ fictional world.

风雨如磐的辩论:朗格斯的田园审判中的问题和思想理论

本文旨在更好地理解Longus的小说Daphnis and Chloe(2.12-19)中的审判场景。它认为,朗格斯利用当代修辞学辩论来阐述他自己的文学计划。在一个争论点(风暴)的Philetas'判决插入-理论旨在强调未受教育的牛郎和受过教育的读者掌握的说服手段之间的差异。这可以反映出精英社会实践(即审判)流向乡村的达芙妮和克洛伊世界的发生率。在审判中,通过将两种言语并置来进一步强调这种位移,其中一种言语是人为简单的(Methymnaians'),而另一种自然地是简单的(Daphnis)。通过这种方式,Longus促进了自己的风格项目。我最终认为,这一场景探讨了Longus虚构世界中的可信度概念。
