Description: [L'Année philologique] [Comment] The humorous treatment of Cato's stoicism does more than simply puncture Cato's moral authority. Cicero also wins the advantage which comes from the appearance of a proper alignment with the mos maiorum. He achieves this through the coherent argumentative structure, heretofore unnoticed, which he uses to deflate Cato's ethos and which provides the affective basis for Cicero's understanding with the jury by generating and sustaining the contention that he and not Cato is in accordance with the mos maiorum.
