In the first of two brief notes, an attempt is made to show that Protagoras draws on Homeric ideas when claiming that he does not know whether gods do or do not exist, and that Thucydides likewise draws on these Homeric ideas in the Melian dialogue. In a second note, Thucydides is shown to have influenced what authors such as Cicero later regarded as essential features of an ideal orator.

The analyzed election campaign, which is so distant from the contemporary era and so different from the campaigns nowadays, presents the process of historical evolution: from campaigns which were “simple”, but demanding and requiring enormous effort from the candidate, to campaigns which are technologically and organizationally advanced. Nowadays the presence of electronics, psychology, political science and marketing reduces the number of candidate’s responsibilities in the process of election strategy. The candidate has a team of specialists who take over such responsibilities. Creating a candidate is not such a big problem as it was in Rome two thousand years ago.

This text expands on the essence of Cicero’s humanistic pedagogy. The article consists of four parts: the introduction focuses on pedagogical connotation of the humanitas concept and connection of this term to the Greek φιλανθρωπία and παιδεία found in Cicero, the following two parts are devoted to Cicero’s own analysis of the features of humanitas as regards the process and result of education and the concluding part emphasises the point that Cicero himself used the word humanitas to describe an education-based life practice of an individual. The research was carried out with financial support of The Russian Foundation for Basic Research’ grant (project 16-06-00004").

Notes on Epicurus’ fr. 62 US. συνουσίη ωνησε μὲν ουδέποτε, αγαπητον δ’ ει μη εβλαψε and CIC. Tusc. V,94 genus hoc voluptatum optabile esse, si non obsit, prodesse numquam. The usual translation of CIC. Tusc. V,94, “This kind of pleasure is desirable, unless it does one harm”, is wrong. The right one is: “It would be desirable if this kind of pleasures did one no harm”. So, despite current opinion, Cicero’s translation of the Epicurean sentence αγαπητον δ’ ει μη εβλαψε is perfectly sound.

One of the great authorities in the antiquity who wrote about old age was Marcus Tullius Cicero, the author of „Cato Maior De senectute [Cato the Elder on Old Age]”. The famous orator wrote this work in 44 BCE and dedicated it to his friend Atticus. The author himself was almost 62 years old at that time, and Atticus 65. Cicero wrote the work in a dialogue form, setting the action in 150 BCE, the speakers being Marcus Porcius Cato the Elder, who in this case presented the views of Cicero, Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger and Gaius Laelius Sapiens. Cicero followed the example of a Greek treatise on old age, probably written by a third-century BCE Peripatetic philosopher, Aristo of Ceos. The concept of the presentation of the treatise is based on comparison of two different views on old age. In one, sorrow and anxiety are visible. Through Cato’s words, Cicero names four reasons why people regard old age as an unhappy period of life: a). it moves us away from active life; b). it weakens physical strength, c). it deprives us of all sensual pleasures, d). it is close to death. The other view, represented by Cato, disproves the objections against old age, recommending calmness, activity, and moderation. Interestingly enough, apart from philosophical or medical arguments, Cicero also refers to political, religious, social and cultural aspects. The apologia for old age presented by Cicero was not always reflected in the reality. Roman sources, especially legal documents, inform about attempted suicide or euthanasia by the elderly. The fundamental reason was the condition of health and physical pain as well as mental illnesses, but the direct motive associated with old age was taedium vitae – weariness of life.

Travelling was not less popular in ancient times than nowadays. People would set out for distant lands with various purposes: to trade, to do business, to gain information, to further develop science, to fight a battle, to visit sacred sites, and last but not least, they travelled with political-administrative purposes. Those who returned from these voyages often shared their exotic experiences; sometimes they even put them down on paper (like Herodotus, Pausanias, Caesar, etc.]. When somebody’s journey or delegation had not been very successful, they could still cosmeticize the story when telling it in the City, in case there had not been any witnesses to tell otherwise. On the other hand, such cases could easily be exploited by the prosecutor in critical situations such as a trial: Cicero used this exact method in his attack against Piso.

Q. S. F. Tertullian was one of the most prominent writers and apologists of the early Christian Church. He had two important goals with his works: on the one hand, to introduce, according to the spirit of the age, the Christian teachings embedded in contemporary Roman culture; on the other hand, to highlight and emphasize the difference between the Christian teachings and the pagan ideas. This dichotomy is characteristic of his ethical teachings as well: while he emphasizes the importance of the Christian virtues, he does not forget about their philosophical background either. Tertullian demonstrably considered Stoic philosophy as the most acceptable philosophical thinking. Virtues have an important status in the teachings of the stoic body, just as they are a fundamental part of Christian ethics. The question arises whether Tertullian’s views on virtues could have been influenced by his pagan Roman ancestor, M. T. Cicero, who also shared stoic doctrines. This is the question the present lecture tries to answer.

This paper examines friendship in the correspondence of Alcuin of York in the broader context of the development of concepts of friendship in the Latin West. The fundamental dimensions of friendship in Alcuin’s work are identified, as well as the relationship between them. These are specifically the spiritual, philosophical‑ethical and political mensions. In addition, elements of the author’s own emotionality can be perceived in Alcuin’s correspondence. The sources of Alcuin’s concept of friendship are to be sought primarily in the patristic tradition.

Having analysed Cicero’s opinions about wild animals demonstrated in some of his works (De finibus bonorum et malorum; De natura deorum; Tusculanae disputationes), we may conclude that on the one hand a human as a rational being is definitely opposed to other living creatures that just follow their carnal instincts, on the other hand even among representatives of various species of animals one can observe behaviour to some extent rational, or even “ethical”, that make them similar to human beings. We may explain this phenomenon with the concept based on the Stoic doctrine of rational or even somehow divine character of nature that contains in itself elements of gradation, and allows the presence of divine ratio in particular beings to differ in intensity, what locates animals in the hierarchy of beings slightly lower than the humans.

The recent book by Agnieszka Dziuba will be appreciated by both the ancient historians and the classical scholars in Poland for, as a monograph of a Roman woman, it has no antecedent. The study concerns Clodia’s background (“Clodia in historiography”), her portrayal by Cicero in the speech In Defense of M. Caelius Rufus, and her depiction in Catullus’ poetry. In the latter case, the author had to assume that in some of the poems Lesbia can be identified with Clodia Metelli. Despite some minor misrepresentations and misprints, the book is a sound analysis of the literary texts featuring the eponymous character. In addition, it offers a lively picture of the role women played in the Roman aristocratic society.

The article presents the results of the literary and pedagogical analysis of the twoCicero’s works “On the Laws” and “On Duties”, which shed light on the civic idealof the author and the ways to achieve it. The ability of the individual to define hisown path of life and path of education, telling at the same time the right from thewrong, is considered one of the features of Cicero’s ideal citizen. The importanceof Cicero’s pedagogical ideas grows due to the transformation of the value componentof civic consciousness that is taking place in the modern society.

Andrius Volanas was a sixteenth-century Lithuanian Calvinist leader. He was known not only for his political activities, but also gained notoriety as the author of De libertate politica sive civili (1572), in which he studies the main social and political problems of Lithuania. In this book we can find political and social ideas that were modern not only for Lithuania of that time, but also for Europe, where different protestant theologians were trying to define the new social and political frames of social and political life, and in so doing were trying to find the keys to political modernization. They sought inspiration not only among their contemporaries, but also in ancient Hellenistic philosophy. The Roman philosopher Cicero was one of their most popular sources of inspiration. Andrius Volanas and others had used Cicero's ideas to look for new vectors in political and social life.

In this article the author compares two concepts of the rhetoric teacher: the ancient rhetorician, whose competence in matters and possession of an appropriate moral attitude are accompanied by beautiful speaking skills; and the contemporary coach, who tries to build his image, professional position and work by acquiring skills, all in order to make a good impression rather than leave a lasting effect on theoretical knowledge. After briefly analyzing the terminology and establishing the meaning of key words for this article, the author discusses the theory of a good rhetorician as developed by Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian. She claims that these thinker s all agreed that a teacher should possess the qualities of eloquence, what might be referred to as the vir bonus, a righteous man. The author then discusses a very popular contemporary phenomenon known as the coaching profession. For this purpose she presents and analyses a notice for work as a coach, as well as articles which can be considered advice made by qualified trainers. In conclusion, the author argues that the model rhetorician popular nowadays lies far from the ancient one.

W niniejszym artykule autorka zestawia z sobą dwie koncepcje nauczyciela sztuki wymowy – starożytnego retora, którego kompetencje w zakresie podejmowanych zagadnień, a także odpowiednia postawa moralna, stanowią równie silny warunek wraz z umiejętnościami krasomówczymi oraz współczesnego coacha, który w budowaniu swojego wizerunku i pozycji zawodowej stawia raczej na doskonalenie umiejętności, służących zrobieniu dobrego wrażenia, niż na pogłębianie wiedzy teoretycznej. Po przeprowadzeniu krótkiej analizy terminologicznej i ustaleniu znaczenia słów kluczowych dla niniejszego artykułu, autorka omawia koncepcję retora wypracowaną przez Arystotelesa, Cycerona oraz Kwintyliana. Stwierdza, że myśliciele ci zgodni są co do tego, że nauczyciel wymowy powinien posiadać przymioty, dzięki którym może być określany jako vir bonus, a więc człowiek prawy. Następnie autorka omawia niezwykle popularną obecnie profesję, określaną mianem coachingu . W tym celu przywołuje i poddaje analizie ogłoszenie o pracy w charakterze coacha , a także artykuły - porady autorstwa wykwalifikowanych w tym celu trenerów. Na zakończenie autorka stwierdza, że lansowany dziś model retora dalece odbiega od tego, który w czasach starożytnych przynosił chlubę osobie ten zawód wykonującej.

Modality, understood as a language category determining the speaker’s attitude towards the communicated content, can be divided into several types. One of them is deontic modality which relates to the notions of permission and obligation. The speech acts by means of which a speaker imposes an obligation upon the addressee are called directives. A speaker can express the necessity of realization of a state of affairs by addressee explicitly, refering to him directly, or implicitly, by means of the general expressions which lack an explicit agent. These general expressions may constitute directives only under specific conditions, first of all when the expression is marked by a present or a future tense and when the deontic source of the obligation and the addressee are indicated in some way. In Cicero’s De officiis explicit directives are realised with morphological means, such as the imperative mood, the first person plural subjunctive, the second person singular and first person plural future indicative, and with lexical ones: the performative verbs postulo and hortor. Whereas implicit directives are expressed by morphological means: the third person subjunctive and the third person future indicative, by lexical markers: the modal verbs debere and oportet, the impersonal phrases officium est and munus est, and by syntactic means: the periphrastic gerundival construction and the est + genetivus possessivus construction. However particular markers much differ with respect to their frequency in chosen corpus.

Nevertheless, all they left a trace in the shape of literary works and letters. Upon reading, one discovers ambiguous attitudes towards their per-sonal misfortunes. Finally, the situation of the exiles and their return may be compared with the archetypal fi gure of Odysseus.
