Zur Demosthenesrezeption in Ciceros Briefen aus dem Exil

2021 - Morcelliana

P. 257-269

  • Numerous letters from the years 58 and 57 B.C., during which Cicero was in exile, are preserved in various collections. Like Cicero, Demosthenes was sent into exile at the end of his life as well, and letters from exile – well known to Cicero – also circulated under his name. Cicero adopted motivic and structural elements from Demosthenes'exile letters and attempted, as he did later in his speeches, to stage himself as a Roman Demosthenes in his letters.
