Georgics-Virgil

from Rhetoric · host Aristotle

"Georgics" by Virgil is a poetic exploration of rural life and the relationship between humanity and nature, emphasizing agricultural practices and the beauty of the natural world. This timeless work resonates with listeners today as it reflects on themes of labor, the cycles of life, and the harmony found in working with the land. Virgil's elegant language and profound insights into the human experience make "Georgics" not only a celebration of farming but also a meditation on the interconnectedness of all living things. Its enduring relevance lies in the universal truths it conveys about stewardship, resilience, and the pursuit of a meaningful existence amidst the challenges of life.

Institutio Oratoria (On the Education of an Orator), volume 2 by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus Loyal Books Marcus Fabius Quintilianus was of Spanish origin, being born about 35 A.D. at Calagurris. At Rome he met with great success as a teacher and was the first rhetorician to set up a genuine public school and to receive a salary from the State. He left behind him a treatise "On the causes of the decadence of Roman oratory" , some speeches and his magnum opus, the only one to survive to our days. His Institutio Oratoria, despite the fact that much of it is highly technical, has still much that is of interest to‑day, even for those who care little for the history of rhetoric. This second volume covers books 4 to 6.
