Titolo: Epicureanism in Pro Caelio (Cic. Cael 42 and Epicurus Fra. 67U., 22.1 A.)
Rivista/Miscellanea: Classical Philology 119, 3
Anno edizione: 2023
Pagine: 426-429
Parole chiave: Éloquence - Eloquenza - Eloquence, Philosophie - Filosofia - Philosophy, Rhétorique - Retorica - Rhetorics
Descrizione: As part of his strategy in Pro Caelio of making Caelius’ alleged disreputable lifestyle appear acceptable, Cicero among other things invokes the fashionable hedonism of Epicurean philosophy (41). This paper argues that at Cael. 42, there is a hitherto undetected allusion to a statement by Epicurus himself (frag. 67 U., 22.1 A.), which further contributes to Cicero’s argument. [Author]
