Input (English): Context: Pyrrhus II (Greek: ) was the son of Olympias II and Alexander II of Epirus. He was a brother of Ptolemy and Phthia of Macedon. He ruled as king of Epirus from 242 BC to 237 . He had two daughters: Deidamia II was the last ruler of the Aeacid Dynasty and Nereis who married Gelon of Syracuse., Alexander II was a king of Epirus, and the son of Pyrrhus and Lanassa, the daughter of the Sicilian tyrant Agathocles., Polyaenus or Polyenus (; see ae (æ) vs. e "Polyainos", "much-praised") was a 2nd-century Macedonian author, known best for his "Stratagems in War" (in Greek, ), which has been preserved. The "Suda" calls him a rhetorician, and Polyaenus himself writes that he was accustomed to plead causes before the emperor. He dedicated "Stratagems in War" to Marcus Aurelius (161180) and Verus (161169), while they were engaged in the Parthian war (162165), about 163 CE, at which time he was too old to accompany them in their campaigns., Rhetoric is the art of discourse, wherein a writer or speaker strives to inform, persuade or motivate particular audiences in specific situations. As a subject of formal study and a productive civic practice, rhetoric has played a central role in the European tradition. Its best known definition comes from Aristotle, who considers it a counterpart of both logic and politics, and calls it "the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion." Rhetoric typically provides heuristics for understanding, discovering, and developing arguments for particular situations, such as Aristotle's three persuasive audience appeals, logos, pathos, and ethos. The five canons of rhetoric, which trace the traditional tasks in designing a persuasive speech, were first codified in classical Rome: invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery.
