LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY 2019 Founded by JAMES LOEB 1911 Edited by JEFFREY HENDERSON LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY Founded by JAMES LOEB 1911 Edited by JEFFREY HENDERSON Dear Friend of the Loeb Classical Library, Enclosed please find our complete 2019 catalog, whose latest offerings significantly expand and update the Library’s coverage of oratory, rhetoric, and Roman history in both Greek and Latin. As General Editor Jeffrey Henderson recently wrote on the HUP Blog: Already in Homer’s Iliad, heroism required prowess in public speaking as well as in battle—Achilles’ fiery speech in Iliad Book 9 always ranked high among classic examples—and by the fourth century BC, oratory, along with its formal study, rhetoric, had overcome principled suspicion by the likes of Aristophanes and Plato as being fundamentally dishonest and manipulative and took their place at the heart of law, politics, education, and literature. Our eight newest volumes feature heroic words and deeds aplenty, drawn primarily (though not exclusively) from the tumultuous times of the Roman Republic: • J. C. Yardley’s renovation of the Loeb Livy marches on, now expanding into the third decade (Books 21–30), which narrates the Second Punic War. Highlights from the new Volume V (Books 21–22) include Hannibal’s crossing of the Alps, the battle of Cannae, and contentious debates concerning the strategies of Fabius Maximus Cunctator (“the Delayer”). • The same events are told from a different perspective in Appian’s Roman History, whose first half (Volumes I–III in Brian McGing’s new Loeb edition) uniquely treats Rome’s dealings with other nations one book at a time, in the order the Romans conquered them. Household names such as Scipio Africanus and Pompey the Great feature prominently. • If you have ever wondered about the evidence for the words such figures spoke when they approached the rostra to address the people, or prevailed upon col- leagues in the senate, Gesine Manuwald’s three-volume Fragmentary Republican Latin: Oratory is replete with interesting information (e.g., contemporary reactions to the speeches of Brutus and Antony following Caesar’s assassination). • Finally, from the late imperial period, William H. Race presents three rhetorical treatises addressed to the budding Greek orator contemplating a civic career under Rome. Cura ut valeas, Michael B.

DIONYSIUS OF HALICARNASSUS, ARS RHETORICA Menander Rhetor Dionysius of Halicarnassus EDITED AND TRANSLATED BY WILLIAM H. RACE This volume contains three rhetorical treatises dating probably from the reign of Diocletian (AD 285–312) that provide instruction on how to compose epideictic (display) speeches for a wide variety of occasions both public and private. These treatises derive from the schools of rhetoric that flourished in the Roman Empire from the 2nd through 4th centuries AD in the Greek East. They provide a window into the literary culture, educational values and practices, and social concerns of these Greeks under Roman rule, in both public and private life, and considerably influenced later literature both pagan and Christian. This edition offers a fresh translation, ample annotation, and texts based on the best critical editions.
