In the literature of the classical period, writers and orators used kairos to specify moments when the opportune action was made, often through metaphors involving archery and one's ability to aim and fire at the exact right time on-target.

The ancient greeks used kairos as a cogent way to tell time, as antithetical to their use of chronological time.

The competing schools were that of the Sophists, and that of their opposition, led by individuals such as Aristotle and Plato.

Thus, the difficulty of using kairos in a modern rhetorical setting is understanding and working within its constraints, while also carefully considering unexpected situations and encounters that arise, in order to present one's rhetorical argument as naturally as possible.
