Cicero's Brutus, or History of Famous Orators

by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Cicero is considered to be Rome's greatest orator and prose writer. His writing is some of the best classical Latin still in existence. Cicero introduced Rome to Greek philosophy and created the Latin philosophical vocabulary. This book contains two selections. Cicero's Brutus or History of Famous Orators was written during the end of the civil war in Africa. It discusses all the Roman and Greek speakers of any note at the time. The conference is supposed to have been held with Atticus, and their friend Brutus. The Orator was written shortly after and is a plan, or critical delineation, of what he esteemed the most finished eloquence, or style of Speaking.

Periautología teniendo de base el análisis de la palabra dicha en el ejercicio público y forense, resaltando que la loable palabra es esa que no solo moviliza los ánimos, persuade, también se ve el decir de orador sin oírlo, que el vulgo y los doctos avalan, siendo bien valorado el decir ático

Cicerón hace un recorrido por toda la historia de la oratoria, tanto griega como romana, opone el estilo asiático como aticista y menciona a los grandes oradores de la historia para llegar a la humildísima conclusión de que él es el mejor orador de la historia
