Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the fragmentary legacy and influence of Caecilius of Calacte, a Greek rhetorician and literary critic who lived in the first century BC. It explores his impact on the development of Greek and Roman literary thought, particularly in the areas of rhetoric, literary criticism, and aesthetics. The author examines Caecilius's writings, including his influential works on the sublime and the Attic orators, and reconstructs his critical methodology and principles. Through a detailed analysis of Caecilius's surviving fragments and their reception in later antiquity, the book sheds light on the complex intellectual landscape of the Hellenistic and early Roman periods and offers valuable insights into the history of literary criticism and the evolution of Greek rhetoric.
