QUINTILIAN
TRAINING OF AN ORATOR
4 Volumes
Translated by H. E. Butler
Quintilian was born in Spain about AD 35; he became a well-known and prosperous teacher of rhetoric in Rome, probably the first to receive a salary as such from public funds. His Institutio Oratoria (Training of an Orator), a comprehensive training program in twelve books, draws on his own rich experience. Here Quintilian gives guidelines for proper schooling (beginning with the young boy); analyzes the structure of speeches and recommends devices for engaging listeners and appealing to their emotions; reviews a wide range of Greek and Latin authors of use to the orator; and counsels on memory, delivery, and gestures. This practical guide, in lucid style, provides valuable insight on Roman education. The work also yields many a memorable comment on the styles of various writers.

LUCILIUS. THE LAW OF THE TWELVE TABLES
Lucilius, the "father" of Roman satire, was born probably in 180 BC to a family of senatorial status. Almost everything became a subject of his satiric verse: politics, correspondence, a journey, social life and its problems, literary and dramatic criticism, even spelling. In the surviving 1300 lines of his work a conversational style predominates, a tone that reappears in more refined language in Horace's satire. 1938/6th printing/584 pages/index

SENECA
10 Volumes
MORAL ESSAYS
3 Volumes
Translated by John W. Basore
Seneca's Stoic philosophy is captured in his Moral Essays. On Providence (which tries to answer the question: why, if god is omnipotent, do good people suffer), On Constancy (on Stoic self-sufficiency), On Anger, and On Clemency (addressed to the emperor Nero) are included in the first of this three-volume edition. Volume II contains On the Good Life (outlining the Stoic program of living according to nature), On Leisure, On Tranquility (in which Seneca suggests a way of life that will bring contentment), On the Brevity of Life (which argues that intellectual pursuits and a proper understanding of time will make full even a short life), and the three Consolations (to Marcia, to Helvia, to Polybius). On Benefits (in Volume III) discusses what constitutes a favor, how it should be given and how received, and the nature of gratitude and ingratitude.

EPISTLES
3 Volumes
Translated by R. M. Gummere
Probably the most attractive of Seneca's works is this collection of 124 Epistles or Letters to Lucilius. Here Seneca writes occasionally about technical problems of philosophy, but more often in a relaxed style about moral and ethical questions, relating them to personal experiences: visits to gladiatorial shows and seaside resorts, the rigors of travel, the loss of friends, and the like. The reader is thus transported to the first century Roman scene while sampling the Stoic philosopher's thoughts about the good life. The Loeb edition is in three volumes:

SOPHOCLES
3 Volumes
Edited and translated by Hugh Lloyd-Jones
Sophocles (c. 490-404 B.C.), with Aeschylus and Euripides, was one of the three great tragic poets of Athens. The subjects of his plays were drawn from mythology and legend. Each play contains at least one heroic figure, a character whose strength, courage, or intelligence exceeds the human norm--but who also has more than ordinary pride and self-assurance. These qualities combine to lead to a tragic end.
Hugh Lloyd-Jones now gives us a masterful new translation of the seven surviving plays of Sophocles. The facing Greek is the corrected version of the Oxford Classical Text edited by Hugh Lloyd-Jones and Nigel Wilson (1990). Volume I contains Oedipus Tyrannus (which tells the famous Oedipus story), Ajax (a heroic tragedy of wounded self-esteem), and Electra (the story of two siblings who seek revenge on their mother and her lover for killing their father). Volume II contains Oedipus at Colonus (the climax of the fallen hero's life), Antigone (a conflict between public authority and an individual woman's conscience), Philoctetes (Odysseus' intrigue to bring an unwilling hero to the Trojan War), and The Women of Trachis (a fatal attempt by Heracles' wife to regain her husband's love).
"Hugh Lloyd-Jones was a very natural choice of editor...He gives a 22-page introduction on Sophocles' life, together with a very brief consideration of the seven plays and a short guide to further reading."
--Greece and Rome
"Lloyd-Jones' prose is, then, just right for today's taste, which is intolerant of another's poetic sensibility interposed between itself and Sophocles."
--Donald Lyons, New Criterion

FRAGMENTS
Sophocles (497/6-406 B.C.), the second of the three great tragedians of Athens and by common consent one of the world's greatest poets, wrote more than 120 plays. Only seven of these survive complete, but we have a wealth of fragments, from which much can be learned about Sophocles' language and dramatic art. This volume presents, in Greek and facing English translation, a collection of all the major fragments, ranging in length from two lines to a very substantial portion of the satyr play The Searchers. Prefatory notes provide frameworks for the fragments of the known plays.
Many of the Sophoclean fragments were preserved by quotation in other authors; others, some of considerable size, are known to us from papyri discovered during the past century. Among the lost plays of which we have large fragments, The Searchers shows the god Hermes, soon after his birth, playing an amusing trick on his brother Apollo; Inachus portrays Zeus coming to Argos to seduce Io, the daughter of its king; and Niobe tells how Apollo and his sister Artemis punish Niobe for a slight upon their mother by killing her twelve children. Throughout the volume, as in the extant plays, we see Sophocles drawing his subjects from heroic legend.
"This is a publication of very great importance."

More scholar and armchair voyager than actual adventurer (though he claimed he traveled widely--from the Black Sea to Ethiopia, Armenia to Etruria), Strabo, antiquity's great geographer, left us this extraordinary storehouse of travel lore. Books 3 to 7 report on Italy and northern Europe; 8 to 10 describe Greece and its mythology; 11 to 14 visit Armenia and Asia Minor; 15 and 16 tour India, Persia, Mesopotamia, Palestine, and Arabia; and 17 explores Egypt, Ethiopia, and North Africa.

SUETONIUS
2 Volumes
Translated by J. C. Rolfe
New Introduction by K. R. Bradley
Lawyer and for a time private secretary to the emperor Hadrian, Suetonius was a knowledgeable and diligent collector of facts about his world. His Lives of the Caesars and Lives of Illustrious Men are invaluable and fascinating sources of information. Seasoned with entertaining anecdotes and bits of scandalous gossip relating to the lives of the first 12 emperors, Suetonius' biographies offer a colorful picture of Roman imperial politics and society. His account of Nero's death is justly famous.
For this revised edition Donna W. Hurley has selectively corrected and updated the translation and notes of Lives of the Caesars; G. P. Goold has revised the text of Lives of Illustrious Men to take account of recent scholarship. In a substantial new introduction K. R. Bradley analyzes Suetonius' work.

DIALOGUE ON ORATORY
Translated by Wm. Peterson, revised by M. Winterbottom
Dialogue on Oratory is a lively conversation of three friends-Ña lawyer, a poet, and a connoisseur of oratoryÑ-about declining standards in the art of public speaking (a question that also troubled Quintilian). The discussion, relaxed and urbane, is concerned with eloquence in both political and lawcourt speeches. This work by Tacitus has a distinctly Ciceronian air.

TERENCE
2 Volumes
Translated by John Sargeaunt
Terence came to Rome from North Africa as a slave in the household of a senator who freed him. His six plays (all of them extant), first performed in the 160s B.C. in Rome, were all based on New Comedy models--like other Roman comedies of the time. In contrast to the exuberance and buffoonery of Plautus, Terence gives us realistic scenes and witty, refined Latin.

DE CAUSIS PLANTARUM
3 Volumes
Translated by B. Einarson and G. K. K. Link
Theophrastus was a student, collaborator, and successor of Aristotle; his writings on plants form a counterpart to Aristotle's zoological works. In the Enquiry into Plants he classifies and describes varieties of plants; in De Causis Plantarum he turns to plant physiology. Books One and Two (in Volume I) discuss generation, sprouting, flowering, and fruiting. Books Three and Four (Volume II) study cultivation and agricultural methods. Books Five and Six (Volume III) cover breeding, diseases, and distinctive flavors and odors.

THEOPHRASTUS
CHARACTERS
Translated by Jeffrey Rusten
HERODAS, MIMES
Translated by I. C. Cunningham
CERCIDAS AND THE CHOLIAMBIC POETS
Translated by A. D. Knox (1929)
This volume collects some of the liveliest examples of Greek literary portraiture. The Characters of Theophrastus sketches thirty hypothetical men, each dominated by a single fault, such as rudeness, superstitution, or greed. Unassuming in style, the sketches nonetheless bear resemblance on the one hand to Aristotle's account of faults and virtues and on the other to the vivid figures of Menandrian New Comedy. This new text and translation by Jeffrey Rusten is based on the most recent scholarship.
Herodas flourished in the 270s and 260s--the high point of Hellenistic poetry. His poems are choliambic mimes, dramatic dialogues that depict characters in everyday urban settings and situations. I. C. Cunningham presents a new translation of Herodas, based on his Teubner text.
Also included here, in a reprint of the earlier Loeb edition by A. D. Knox, are the fragments of Greek poetry in the choliambic meter--especially those which offer a tantalizing glimpse into the raucous and sordid world of Hipponax--and the lyric iambics on themes of Cynic philosophy by Cercidas.
"Theophrastus' Characters, an engaging survey of bad behaviour, is full of what R. C. Jebb called 'the social language of Athens' as practised by members of its fourth-century leisure class...Jeffrey Rusten's recent addition to the Loeb Classical Library series provides a wholly readable translation and a conscientious edition of a problematic text."

Virgil's Georgics evokes the pleasures and perils of life in the country. Each of the poem's four books revolves around one theme: crops; trees and shrubs; livestock; and beekeeping. The didactic framework is artfully structured with digressions, metaphors, invocations, and myths to propound issues of the country and the city, of the ideal life, of war and peace, of true piety, of loss and renewal, and of the good society. Dryden called it "the best Poem of the best Poet." This volume of the Virgil edition also contains Books 1-6 of the Aeneid and the bucolic Eclogues.

John Dillery has corrected the Greek text in accordance with current scholarship, revised BrownsonÕs translation, supplied updated notes, and provided a new Introduction.

MEMORABILIA AND OECONOMICUS
Translated by E. C. Marchant
SYMPOSIUM AND APOLOGIA
Translated by O. J. Todd
In Memorabilia or Memoirs of Socrates and in Oeconomicus, a dialogue about household management, we see the philosopher through Xenophon's eyes. Here, and in the accompanying Symposium we also obtain insight on life in Athens. The volume concludes with Xenophon's Apology, an interesting complement to Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his trial. Ostensibly an account of a dinner party in the summer of 421 B.C., Xenophon's Symposium is a vibrant picture of an Athenian evening of quiet entertainment and conversation. Among the guests Socrates is the central figure, and--as in Plato's Symposium--love is the main subject of debate. But the style here is more relaxed and less artful than in Plato's philosophical dialogue, yielding an engaging portrait of Socrates and of Athenian social life.
