| Summary: | This contribution opens with the position of Theodoret of Cyrrhus on the relationship between nomothesia and didaskalia and then passes to a consideration of the stylistic and rhetorical choices (e.g. word-choice and metaphors deployed) that follow from that stance. In so doing, the present contribution seeks to show how these choices are part of a larger educational project that is broader and more competitive than the Neoplatonic project endorsed by the emperor Julian. Theodoret's educational project was formulated in response to the cultural challenge posed by Julian. On the one hand, it subverts the very premises of the emperor's reform of education, which had aimed to create public instruction on the basis of linguistic homogeneity. On the other hand, Theodoret's project sought to render universal Mosaic teaching and the monastic educational model, both of which are portrayed as reflecting a divine model. Motivated by the historical circumstance of the presence of a circle around Anthemius in Constantinople, the bishop of Cyrrhus aimed, in fighting against Apollinarists and Anomoeans, at drawing a figure of the didaskalos that is an alternative to that which emerges from the evidence regarding the two Apollinares and seems to underlie the behaviour of Aetius and Eunomius and their followers.
