Kral Deiotaros Savunması

by Marcus Tullius Cicero, Ebru N. Akdoğu Arca (Translator)

İç savaş sürecinde Pompeius taraftarı olmakla dictator Caesar’ın şimşeklerini üzerine çeken Romalıların dostu Galatia Kralı Deiotaros, rakipleri tarafından kendisine yöneltilen “Caesar’a karşı suikast girişimi” suçlamasıyla karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Doğulu bir kral olarak iç savaşın yanlış tarafında yer almakla bölgesindeki krallık çekişmelerinin yanı sıra kendisini yeni bir mücadele alanının içinde bulmuştur. Kralın yokluğunda, Caesar’ın evinde ve yargıçlığında görülen dava Cumhuriyet değerlerinin Caesar tarafından hiçe sayıldığının bir resmini sunar.

Reviews

[AB]

Pro Ligario is probably one of the best speeches of Cicero's that I have read so far. Pro Milone and In Pisonem were also really great

[John Cairns]

It was the Pro Ligario interested me most because Caesar had made up his mind to deny Ligarius' return but wanted to enjoy Cicero's oration which so moved him he changed his mind and let Ligarius return (to assassinate him). It's good but I expect you had to be there, to hear the voice and as a Roman, second only to Cicero in oratory, be subject to the intonations, the use of that voice, its play on you.
