Elocutio
Related to the word "eloquent".
In Ancient Greece, rhetoric was not considered very separate from poetry. Gorgias (483â375 BCE) is famous for his "Gorgian figures": antitheses and other wordplays (elocutio) (same root as the word "gorgeous"?). The aesthetic enjoyment (terpsis) was one of the goals of speaking well, beside convincing. The interest in this rose after the fall of democracy in Rome, which could be explained by the lessened importance of convincing anyone and more in being seen as impressive.
