Praise Helena
1. about any country are good citizens, the governance functions of the body - the beauty of the soul - wisdom, deeds - virtue, speech, and - true, opposites are an expression of their disorder. Therefore, the male and woman, and word and deed, and the State, and events worthy of praise - praise be to celebrate, this, however, that without values \u200b\u200b- given a reprimand. Equal to the error and ignorance reprove what is worthy of praise, and praise what is worthy of skarcenia.
second the same duty of man is both aptly provide for and improve those who are blaming Helen, a woman, around which has grown clear and unanimous opinion - and it's just a matter of faith in the words of poets, and through the glory of her name, which has become a reminder of those events. But I would like to present some reasoning in speech and thus tarnished freed from guilt, having demonstrated that it falsely accused and upon presentation of the truth - I want to put an end to ignorance.
third That and nature, and the family is the first among the great men and women - the woman to whom I dedicate this speech - it is not known whether or not the few. It is known that it comes from her mother Leda, and the father: real - god, Newcastle - a mortal, ie Tyndareusa and Zeus, one of which was regarded as the father by the fact that it was, the second indicated the general belief, moreover, was the first najmożniejszym of the people, and the second master of everything.
4th With such famous parents Helena equaled the beauty gods, which received from them and has not hid. It aroused widespread desire for love, one person lured their husbands, and many eminent men, and therefore very confident. Among they gloried in the vastness of some wealth, some good fame of the ancient ancestors, some extraordinary power of bodily strength, yet others - the power of acquired wisdom. And they all came, both motivated by love lubującą up in the competition, and because of the overwhelming ambition.
5th I will not speak who, why and how, possessed by love for Helena, he went by sea. For those who are already familiar with the matter, story about what they know - but gained their faith - but do not make fun. Therefore, omit those cases from the past and now turn to the proper subject of speech, or to pledge reasons that probably decided to leave St. Helen to Troy.
6th For what happened, or happened to the twists of fate, on the orders of the will of the gods and Necessity, or Helen was abducted by force, or a confident verbal argument. If the thing happened with this first reason, is one who accuses he deserves the accusation: it is not possible to prevent human foresight willingness deity. Consistent with the nature of the niepowstrzymywanie what stronger, what weaker. But on the contrary - what stronger, governs and directs the weaker, and what is stronger, led, and what is worse, follow after him. Gods and represent what is stronger in relation to man and in terms of power, and wisdom, and other characteristics. So if we assign blame Fate and the gods must be freed from Helena notoriety.
7th If while the force was kidnapped and forced against the law and unfairly abused, it is obvious that the man who abducted, raped committing offended justice, and those that have been abducted, as the one you committed rape, met disaster. Thus barbarian who conceived the idea of \u200b\u200ba barbaric, deserves punishment and that the lawful, the verbal reasoning and appropriate to the offense so that took place in accordance with the law - the loss of civic honor, as argued for the word - appreciation for wine, according to deeds - Incurring a penalty. Is not it likely that she - a slave, torn from their homeland and deprived of friends, could arouse pity rather than being removed from their worship? Yet he has been guilty of terrible crimes, she just experienced suffering: so justice demands mercy on her, and his hate.
8th If the word and convince omamiło soul, and it is not difficult to defend this position, and free from guilt in the following way. The word is great potentate (logos dynastes megas Eastin), who, using a very small and hidden the body (language) calls things as divine. Is in fact capable and assuage fears and concerns aside, inspire joy and compassion multiply. I will show how this happens.
9th like this idea should be to provide students with: any form of poetry, and I call the speech recognized metric. Listeners embraces her shrill thrill, filled with tears of compassion and the need for repentance, and the soul through the words of the same experiences of suffering to the good and bad cases of others. Let them have gone further in the argument.
10th Well, come down the words of songs inspired delight, sadness discourage. Power of the songs because, working with an image of the soul, enchants, inspires and transforms it - as if by magic. You can talk about the action of two pieces: spells and magic - they are a mistake of the mind (psyche) and the illusion of the imagination.
11th How many people remain convinced and convinces others, in many cases inventing a false argument. Had they all remember everything that happened, they had an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the present feeling towards what the future, he could not deceive a similar argument in a similar manner. Meanwhile it is not easy, nor remember what has passed, or discuss what is current, or foretell things to come. As a result, many people often present only opinion that provides guidance of the soul. Belief, in turn, being deceptive and uncertain acquires the those who speak of him in deceptive and uncertain situations.
12th So what bothers and Helena that occurred in the songs as abducted by force, though at an aged girl? Suggestion, which was (the reason) the provisions of Helena, which is tantamount to coercion, is not subject to reprimand, after all, but on the contrary - has the same power as coercion. The word that convinces the soul, forcing her to be obedient and agreed to the deeds. The word, therefore, convinced that, somehow the urge to cause harm, soul, in turn, convinced, as if compelled, without consideration listens to what is wrong.
13th To understand that persuasion backed by the word soul shaped according to His will, you see, first with the arguments of philosophers of nature who once overthrown an idea, it is again formulated in relation to the new and made it what is incredible and was as invisible as understandable. Secondly, it must take into account the rhetorical agony, which reveals the power of coercion with words. During these meetings provided written and delivered according to the recommendations of art, though inaccurate, can encourage and persuade the human crowd. Thirdly, it is a quest to read the philosophical arguments, which manifests itself in the brilliancy of thought, effectively giving confidence to the preached view.
14th and the word itself has the power of influencing the mental disposition as well as drugs for human physical condition. How do some drugs from the body releasing some body fluids once put an end to the disease, but in another life, so the word: some grieving students, the second lot, some terrifying, the second add courage, and still others with the participation of some evil incitements pętają and beguile the soul.
15th already told myself that if the word was persuaded, did not in itself wrong, but it has suffered. Now, in turn, will present the fourth reason, which requires a fourth variant of the argument. If we love it caused will be easy to escape responsibility for the error, referred to. This is because, as we see, has no such nature that we want, but what happened to a particular case, so you can shape the soul under its jurisdiction and by the visual impression.
16th For example, when the eye perceives as a hostile enemy or a decoration of bronze and iron armor of the enemy (located), whether to defend or attack, is concerned and thus disturbs the soul. As a result, although often what is to come not present a hazard, followed by a retreat in terror. Similarly, the power of persuasion, which is lurking as a result of fear stemming from the visual impression is so great that it rejects and beauty that is right, and the good flowing from justice.
17th all, there are people who see the (apparently) terrible things, they lose consciousness at any given moment the mind - so much fear suppresses and removes a healthy mind. Many people once again swarming the unnecessary illness, suffering terrible, incurable insanity: to the degree of visual impression imprints in the mind images of things viewed. On the other hand, what really is terrible, often ignored. The same applies to the words.
18th On the other hand painters, when, with many colors and elements can eventually work out a form and shape, enjoy the eye. Similarly, the products of sculptural art - statues and sculptures are a nice illusion for the eyes. Thus the visual impression becomes either a source of anxiety, or desire. Often, people are born much love and affection do przedmiotów i osób.
19. Cóż zatem dziwnego, że wrażenie wzrokowe, jakiego doznała Helena widząc Aleksandra, wystawiło jej duszę na miłosną próbę? Skoro miłość jest bogiem, przejawia konieczność wobec bogów, jakże to, co słabsze miałoby być zdolne odepchnąć ją i obronić się przed nią? Jeśli zaś miłość jest chorobą ludzką i omyłką duszy, nie należy jej ganić jako grzechu, ale uważać za nieszczęście. Przyszła zatem miłość, jak przyszła — w traps as a result of the soul, against the wise advice of, and necessity, not by sophisticated treatments.
20th How, then, can be considered a legitimate complaint against Helen, who either love or manipulated words, or abducted by force, and finally compelled by a divine necessity, it did what it did and in any event was out of guilt?
21st The speech rejected disgrace from a woman, while remaining faithful to the principle, which laid out at the beginning, tried to reject the plea and injustice unfounded belief, I wanted to write a speech: praise for Helen and for each experiment.
