Cicero Pro Archia Poeta Oratio: A structural Analysis of the Speech and Companion to the Commentary

by Steven M. Cerutti

Cicero’s Pro Archia is a compelling advocate for the value of literature and of humanities in general. The speech further offers motive for hard work and struggle: the hope of a glorious memory for generations to come. Designed as a companion to Cerutti’s Pro Archia student text and commentary, this volume’s comprehensive diagrams, detailed discussions of nearly every sentence of the speech, and sentence-by-sentence structural analysis provide roadmaps to guide students through the complex structure of Ciceronian periodic sentences. It helps to make Pro Archia accessible and is intended for use by both teachers and students alike.
