The Epicureans were notorious in antiquity for denigrating most forms of civic participation and for rejecting those cultural activities (such as poetry, music, and rhetoric) which are broadly labelled 'paideia.' In this, as in all else, they ostensibly took their cue from Epicurus and the other founders of the School. In contrast to this, the Epicurean Philodemus, who lived and wrote in Italy in the first century B.C., presents an interesting case. For a substantial portion of his surviving work is preoccupied with investigations into this 'paideia' and with demonstrating how an orthodox Epicurean is to approach them. This book selects one of those investigations, the first two books of Philodemus' 'On Rhetoric'. An annotated translation is provided of the most recent edition of this text (Longo Auricchio 1977) which is followed by a series of essays which aim to clarify Philodemus' conception of, and approach to, the problem of rhetoric for Epicureans, and in particular the way he manages citations from the works of the founders to support his arguments against other Epicureans who take a different view. The book constitutes a very helpful guide to this fragmentary and difficult text.

Filainion is zwart, de oude Charito weet nog steeds passie op te roepen, Kallistion is bevallig, Lysidikè is een tiener en zelfs een provinciaalse als Flora weet te bekoren. De liefde voor een vrouw of voor een veelvoud van vrouwen wordt door Filodemos van Gadara (ca. 110-ca. 30 v.Chr.) in alle toonaarden en vanuit allerlei perspectieven bezongen in een dertigtal epigrammen. De minnaressen zijn gehuwde vrouwen, hetaeren of straathoeren. Daarnaast klinken in zijn verzen ook epicurische thema’s mee. Filodemos was filosoof en auteur van grote reeks traktaten die werden ontdekt in de beroemde Villa van de Papyri bij Herculaneum. De Griek uit het Midden-Oosten dacht en dichtte in de schaduw van de Vesuvius en zou veel Latijnse dichters inspireren.

"Philodemus' History of the Academy represents a valuable treatise on Greek philosophical schools containing much unique information on Plato and on the development of the Academy under his successors. The so called Index Academicorum is a draft version preserved in a Herculaneum papyrus, which has been reread and reedited on the basis of innovative papyrological criteria and pioneering imaging techniques. The text is now very different from former editions and reveals countless new facts on various Academic philosophers. The edition and the commentary provide new insights of interdisciplinary relevance into ancient philosophy, biography, literature and the ancient process of writing a book"--
