The Words of the Day
With uncanny scholarship and uniquely wry wit, this book is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered about common word usage. Through exploring the classical roots of the English language, readers learn the origins of numerous words, many of which can be definitively tracked back to their first use. Readers also learn that many offensive words (pornographywas an ancient word for menu andfornicationwas actually an architectural term) have innocuous and humble Greek and Roman beginnings. Designed to be instructional and filled with concise information and plenty of examples, this reference will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in learning more about the words they speak.
Cicero Pro Archia Poeta Oratio 3rd Edition
Pro Archia was delivered by Cicero in defense of A. Licinius Archias, a Greek poet whose eligibility for Roman citizenship was challenged in 62 bce. Cicero’s emphasis in the speech is on literature’s humanizing value.
Cicero's Accretive Style
Cicero's Accretive Style is a book about the nature of the Ciceronian exordium and its rhetorical structure and function. Through a sentence-by-sentence stylistic analysis of the exordia of a selection of Cicero's judicial speeches, this book explores how Cicero uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to fulfill the aims of the exordium as he himself defined them. The speeches selected for study include the Pro Quinctio, Pro Roscio Amerino, and Pro Rege Deiotaro, and cover the span of Cicero's career. The focus of the analysis is on Cicero's "accretive" style--not a rhetorical device in the formal sense, but a conscious, stylistic effort whose effect is rhetorical. Because Cicero also wrote important treatises on oratory and rhetoric, this book measures how closely Cicero followed his own guidelines laid down for the exordium, and how and under what circumstances he deviated or departed from them.
When Greek Goats Sing Sad Songs
Steve Cerutti brings years of experience teaching, as well as a deep understanding and a love of his subject matter, to this whimsical, funny and accessible examination of Greek tragedy. From the origin of the word "tragedy" (literally "goat songs") to how the Greeks put on the plays to an assessment of the plays themselves, this book has it all.
Completely Parsed Cicero

Th e Latin text is accompanied by an interlinear word-for-word translation. A more polished translation is found in the margin next to sections of the Latin text. Maclardy’s commen-tary also delves into word derivations and word frequencies, thus making this volume helpful for the competent reader of Latin as well as the novice. A new introduction by Steven M. Cerutti of East Carolina University provides guidelines for the use of this resource by high school Latin teachers and educators at all levels.
