Isocrates (/aɪˈsɒkrətiːz/; Ancient Greek: Ἰσοκράτης [isokrátɛ̂ːs]; 436–338 BC) was an ancient Greek teacher of rhetoric and was one of the ten Attic orators [en]. He was one of the leading Greek rhetorical speakers of his time and contributed to rhetoric and education through his teaching and written works.

Some people say Tisias [en], a pupil of Corax of Syracuse [en], was the teacher of Isocrates. Within two generations, rhetoric had become an important art, its growth driven by social and political changes such as democracy and courts of law. Isocrates starved himself to death, two years before his 100th birthday.[1][2]
