A new translation of selections from famed Roman orator and statesman Cicero's The Nature of the Gods and the Dream of Scipio.
Philip Freeman is the author of more than twenty books on the ancient world, including the Cicero translations How to Be a Friend, How to Grow Old, and How to Run a Country (all Princeton). He holds the Fletcher Jones Chair as a Professor of Humanities at Pepperdine University and lives in Malibu, California.
"The translation is worthy of praise. It is smooth and colloquial,
allowing easy access to rather difficult and technical Latin texts.
. . . [Freeman's] approach breathes new life into two Latin texts
that deserve more readers."---Ailsa Hunt, Classical Review
"A good summary of the religious thoughts of the Stoics. . . .
Philip Freeman’s introduction and translation are models of their
kind."---Harry Mount, Catholic Herald
"This small volume by Philip Freeman is an accomplishment and
welcomed publication."---Nelu Zugravu, Classica et Christiana
