Summary/Abstract: Antyczne techniki perswazyjne (Antique Persuasion Techniques, 2019), volume five of Szkice o antyku (Essays on the Antiquity), edited by Edyta Gryksa and Patrycja Matusiak, is made subject of the review. The reviewer presents the functioning of persuasive techniques in the Greco-Roman world, pointing at strong connections of rhetoric with everyday life, from courtroom to military camp. The connection between the contemporary interpretive practices, convincing in the world of media, politics, arts, staging and the antique sources of culture is also communicated. Ultimately, the author examines the crucial terms of the humanities, such as interpretation, mediation, and European identity
