Origins of Rhetorical devices
Rules and principles of composition of rhetoric were created by critics of ancient times. During

the Classical period of ancient Greece, teachers of rhetoric, known as rhetors, or rhetoricians, taught the art of public speech to Greek republics. Children of the wealthy under the Roman Empire were also taught rhetoric as these skills of public performance were the center of the education process.
