Description & Specifications

The translations published in this volume do not have scientific claims; nor do the accompanying comments have claims of originality. I aimed at three purposes.

First, to introduce to a wider audience a piece of Roman history filled with lessons useful in all times. Second, to present examples of a rhetorical style that has for centuries been the great model for all European peoples. Third, to test and showcase the capabilities of the demotic language in the field of rhetoric.

Until now, with very few exceptions, rhetorical discourse has been exclusively held by the purist form of the Greek language. Poor rhetoric requires ready-made frameworks, sometimes even ready-made thoughts; and these can be easily found in the purist form. However, good rhetoric is a discourse that creates new frameworks, just like any good discourse. It does not need conveniences that mask the lack of substance. Therefore, I was not intimidated by this recognized advantage of the purist form in rhetorical discourse and wanted to see for myself how far the still unrefined demotic can go in this domain when it wishes to engage in rhetoric.

This is my third purpose.
