Criticism about Rhodius Apollonius

Epic and Rhetoric: Speech-making and Persuasion in Homer and Apollonius

http://www.cisi.unito.it/arachne/num1/toohey.html

"The topic, in a sense, is a bogus one -- speech-making and persuasion in Homer and Apollonius. There are speakers and speeches enough in Greek epic, but, at least in Homer and Apollonius, there is little recognizable rhetorical elaboration of the classical kind."
