This paper discusses the history of rhetoric and takes us back to the 5th century BC. According to tradition, the first rhetorical school was established by Corax. The paper does not really focus on the historical fact of establishment, but rather examines the first rhetorician’s theoretical work, which has not survived, but was referred to by antique sources. From a practical point of view, the paper discusses the argumentation of Corax’ famous debate with his pupil, Tisias. The description of Corax, missing from the Hungarian literature on the history of rhetoric so far, takes into account the previous conclusions of international studies, in addition to these aspects.
