[Life of Cicero by Anthony Trollope]@TWC D-Link bookLife of Cicero CHAPTER XII 132/137
Sed me [Greek: katakleis] mea illa commovet, quae est in libro iii. "Interea cursus, quos prima a parte juventae Quosque adeo consul virtute, animoque petisti, Hos retine, atque, auge famam laudesque bonorum." [239] Homer, Iliad, lib.xii., 243: [Greek: Eis oionos aristos amynesthai peri patres.] [240] Middleton's Life of Cicero, vol.i., p.
291. [241] Pro Domo Sua, xvi.
This was an oration, as the reader will soon learn more at length, in which the orator pleaded for the restoration of his town mansion after his return from exile.
It has, however, been doubted whether the speech as we have it was ever made by Cicero. [242] Suetonius, Julius Caesar, xx. [243] Ad Att., lib.ii., 1: "Quid quaeris ?" says Cicero. "Conturbavi Graecam nationem"-- "I have put all Greece into a flutter." [244] De Divinatione, lib.
i. [245] Ad Quin.
