Apostrophe in Greek Oratory
A full list of passages containing apostrophe, the figure of speech when a speaker turns away temporarily from his audience and addresses a third party, shows many more instances of it in later than earlier Greek oratory, reflecting the change from the more impersonal role of the speechwriter to that of the career politician who increased his influence by supporting clients robustly in the lawcourts. This paper also classifies the types of apostr…
Cicero's First Philippic and the Fall of the Republic
This study has two parallel themes, one literary, the other historical. It is argued that it was in the First Phillipic, rather than its more famous successor, that Cicero made his irrevocable break with Antony.

Dionysius of Halicarnassus. The Critical Essays
The Historians of Greece and Rome
Our understanding of Greek and Roman civilization is in considerable measure a product of the intelligence and literary skills of its historians. Writing at different times and from different vantage points, the surviving historians illustrate the influences to which the genre was subjected in the course of its development. After Herodotus had established history as an independent form of literature, Thucydides defined its purpose and set a high …
