Descrizione: [APh] [Comment] At the beginning of De oratore, Cicero takes up the main themes of the first part of Plato's Gorgias: an encomium of the power of eloquence is followed by a critical examination of the scope of oratory. Plato's question, whether the orator needs a knowledge of justice, appears in the Ciceronian dialogue in the controversy about the orator's knowledge of the ius civile.
