Hermagoras of Temnos was an ancient Greek philosopher and rhetorician, known for his contributions to the field of rhetoric during the Hellenistic period. He is often credited as one of the first systematic theorists of rhetoric, particularly in the areas of deliberative and judicial discourse. Hermagoras is notable for developing a methodical approach to argumentation, focusing on the importance of the speaker's ethos, the audience's pathos, and the logical structure of the arguments presented (logos).
