Cicero, Greek Learning, and the Making of a Roman Classic

ISBN: 9780198829423 出版年：2018 页码：372 Bishop, Caroline Oxford University Press

The Roman statesman, orator, and author Marcus Tullius Cicero is the embodiment of a classic, though only in part due to his subsequent reception. This volume demonstrates how Cicero's strategic adaptation of classic Greek texts allowed him to envision and create texts with classical authority for a parallel Roman canon.
