Form and Content in the Tusculan Disputations
Readers of Cicero’s philosophical writings are sometimes tempted to hasten through the prefaces as at best pleasant reading, but not really important, in order to get to the real substance, the presentation of philosophical views. Yet the prefaces often tell us things we should know, even if not all of them (especially the earlier apologetic ones, defending the philosophical enterprise in general) were specifically written for the place where the…

Cicero
The Fifth Tusculan Disputation is the finest of the five books, its nearest rival being the First. The middle three books, represented in this edition by the Second, are, as the author clearly intended, less elevated, though still showing Cicero's flair for elegant and lively exposition, and providing much valuable information about the teaching of the main Hellenistic philosophical schools, especially the Stoics. They argue that the perfect huma…
Trials of Character
By its very nature, the art of oratory involves character. Verbal persuasion entails the presentation of a persona by the speaker that affects an audience for good or ill. In this book, James May explores the role and extent of Cicero's use of ethos and demonstrates its persuasive effect. May discusses the importance of ethos, not just in classical rhetorical theory but also in the social, political, and judicial milieu of ancient Rome, and then …

Clausulae in the Rhetorica ad Herennium as Evidence of its Date
Believing that there is still something to be said about the early history of clausulae in Latin prose, I set myself to trace the practice of the early orators, then that of the Rhetorica ad Herennium , accepting its conventional dating to 86–82 B.C., and lastly that of Cicero in De Inventione , assuming it to be roughly contemporary with the ad Herennium , and in his early speeches. But clausula -study itself, besides shedding light on the metho…
Cicero, Quintilian, and the Canon of Ten Attic Orators
The origins of the famous canon of ten Attic orators have long been the subject of controversy. This has of late subsided into a general recognition that no final decision is possible between the three chief claimants the scholars of 3rd century Alexandria, those of 2nd century Pergamum, and Caecilius of Cale Acte. But, although there is no doubt that Alexandrian critics drew up some lists of approved writers, and it is possible that as Brzoska t…
M. Calidius and the Atticists
The object of this paper is to question the established view that the orator M. Calidius was an Atticist. I propose to argue (i) that the term ‘Atticist’ should be reserved for the coterie centring on Calvus, which attacked Cicero, and was attacked by him in Brutus and Orator , and (ii) that our evidence for the oratory of Calidius does not warrant the inference that he was in any way associated with, or a forerunner of, that coterie
