About
The Progymnasmata is a daily rhetorical exercise for those who love wisdom.
Choose the values that matter to you — beauty, strength, wisdom, justice, and dozens more — and once a day, We delivers one of fourteen progymnasmata: classical exercises ancient Greeks and Romans used to train thinking, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. A fable. A maxim. An anecdote about a real historical figure. A speech written for delivery.
Each exercise shows you how it is built — its classical anatomy, its sources, its purpose — and invites you to practice the form yourself in a short, focused writing exercise.
FEATURES:
Fifteen classical exercise types: fable, maxim, anecdote, narrative, refutation, confirmation, commonplace, vivid description, encomium, invective, comparison, personification, thesis, law, and declamation.
Daily exercises aligned with your values, delivered as a local notification at the time you pick.
A built-in Handbook explaining each exercise's definition, structure, and pitfalls.
A practice editor with autosave for writing your own response to each exercise.
A personal library of everything you've received, with favorites.
Every historical exercise is honestly sourced and cites its cited.
Everything you choose and everything you write stays on your device.
