Metanoia (rhetoric)
Metanoia (from the Greek , ''metanoia'', ''changing one's mind'') in the context of rhetoric is a device used to retract a statement just made, and then state it in a better way.〔Silva Rhetoricae (2006). (Metanoeia )〕 As such, metanoia is similar to correction. Metanoia is used in recalling a statement in two ways—-to weaken the prior declaration or to strengthen it.
Metanoia is later personified as a figure accompanying kairos, sometimes as a hag and sometimes as a young lady. Ausonius' epigrams describe her thus: "I am a goddess to whom even Cicero himself did not give a name. I am the goddess who exacts punishment for what has and has not been done, so that people regret it. Hence my name is Metanoea." 〔 Qtd. in Myers, Kelly A. "Metanoia and the Transformation of Opportunity" RSA 41.1 pp1-18.〕
==Weakening==
The use of metanoia to weaken a statement is effective because the original statement still stands, along with the qualifying statement.〔VirtualSalt.com (2006). (A Handbook of Rhetorical Devices )〕 For instance, when one says, "I will murder you. You shall be punished," the force of the original statement ("I will murder you") remains, while a more realistic alternative has been put forward ("you shall be punished").
