Cicero's Academici libri and Lucullus: A Commentary with Introduction and Translations
Cicero’s Academic Skepticism
The chapter traces statements on Cicero’s philosophical position from his earliest treatise (on rhetorical theory) to the philosophical works of the 40s bce , while attending to the literary form of Cicero’s oeuvre. It argues that Cicero’s stance is stable over time, that it exhibits a number of features that would warrant calling it mitigated skepticism, but that, given the way different Academic positions are conceptualized in Cicero’s texts, n…
Linguistic Naturalism in Cicero’s Academica
The Academica is a dialogue completed in 45 BC, near the beginning of the second of the two phases in his life when Cicero produced – broadly speaking – philosophical dialogues. The work is devoted to epistemology, and specifically the question of whether there is empirical knowledge as the Stoics defined it, an issue which had been debated by Stoics and Academics since the third century BC. There are speakers for the Stoic side, in particular St…
Exemplarity and Its Discontents: Hellenistic Jewish Wisdom Texts and Greco-Roman Didactic Poetry
This article sets up a dialogue between two bodies of ancient texts, i.e. Jewish wisdom literature and Greco-Roman didactic of the Hellenistic period, with an awareness of the scholarly and interpretive communities that have studied, taught and transformed these bodies of texts from antiquity until the present. The article does not claim direct influence or cross-pollination across intellectual, religious or social communities in the Hellenistic …

Syntactic colloquialism in Lucretius
Although (or because?) it is a truism that Lucretius admits colloquial features in his De rerum natura, there are surprisingly few studies explicitly devoted to the language and style of this author, and certainly no book-length treatment exists as we have for a number of Latin poets. Commentators tend to note what they regard as colloquial usages, but are usually not free to pause and justify their assessment. The most substantial single publica…

Chapter Five. Techniques Of Proof In 4th Century Rhetoric: Ar. Rhet. 2.23–24 And Pre-Aristotelian Rhetorical Theory
This chapter sheds some new light on the diverse array of argumentative devices which we find in Aristotle, Rhet. 2.23ff . and explains how these argumentative devices work. Further, since Aristotle explicitly mentions some earlier rhetoricians in connection with certain topoi discussed in the chapter, the question arises which format the source material which Aristotle used had and how exactly he transformed it. The author then argued for the vi…
Xxvii - Andronicus of Rhodes and Boethus of Sidon on Aristotle's Categories
Dialogues and Essays (Oxford World's Classics)
In these dialogues and essays the Stoic philosopher Seneca outlines his thoughts on how to live in a troubled world. Tutor to the young emperor Nero, Seneca wrote exercises in practical philosophy that draw upon contemporary Roman life and illuminate the intellectual concerns of the day. They also have much to say to the modern reader, as Seneca ranges widely across subjects such as the shortness of life, tranquillity of mind, anger, mercy, happi…
Quintilian: Institutio Oratoria Book 2
With Latin text and a commentary, this is an edition of Book 2 of Quintilian's 'Education of the Orator'. It gives important insights into the way teaching was conducted in a rhetorical school in Rome in the first century AD, and discusses the various elementary rhetorical exercises, one by one.
Oxford Classical Monographs: Marcus Tullius Cicero: Topica
Cicero's 'Topica' is one of the canonical texts on ancient rhetorical theory. This full-scale commentary and critical edition is informed by a full analysis of its transmission and also considers how much common ground there is between Cicero and the jurists
Propertius and Rhetoric
This chapter suggests ways of looking at Propertius through the eyes of a student of rhetoric, highlighting in the process how the issue of rhetoric is bound up with aspects of Propertius that have received more attention. It sets out a few background considerations first, then explains the author's criteria, and later proceeds to the discussion of the evidence. Propertius does not seem as obviously a rhetorical poet as his fellow elegist Ovid. T…
The Language of Epicureanism in Cicero: The Case of Atomism
This chapter provides a discussion on Cicero’s treatment of Epicureanism. Cicero’s and Lucretius’ renderings of Epicurean terms and notions are radically different: whereas Lucretius’ seem colourful, suggestive, and rich, Cicero’s seem flat and matter-of-fact to the point of tedium. The purpose of atomism is to make all kinds of potentially frightening events in the world of experience less frightening by providing a rational explanation for them…
Aspects of the language of Latin prose
Readers in the Underworld: Lucretius, De Rerum Natura 3.912–1075
Readers have always acknowledged the comparatively clear macrostructure of De rerum natura 3. It begins with a prooemium in which is described the terrifying impact which the fear of death has on human lives, as well as the fact that Epicurus has provided a cure against this fear, namely his physical doctrines (1–93). Particular attention is paid to fears of an afterlife in which we have to suffer pain and grief in the underworld; cf., for instan…

Rhetoric in the Fourth Academy
Around 87 b.c. during the turmoil of the first Mithridatic war, Philo of Larissa, head of the so-called Fourth Academy, fled from Athens to Rome. There he gave lectures on philosophical topics and taught rhetoric. His classes were attended by a young man called Cicero, who was inspired by him to include in a work on rhetorical theory, somewhat inappropriately, a fervent confession of scepticism to which he stuck for the rest of his life. Later Ci…
