Présentation de l'éditeur:

In light of Cicero's claim in Brutus, Frazel shows that Greek rhetorical practice, not simply the "Arts of Rhetoric,“ did indeed contribute to the composition of Cicero's In Verrem. Frazel argues that Cicero used the progymnasmata to structure the oration and to depict Verres as a temple robber and a tyrant. The book explores the cultural implications of these choices.
