Abstract

The power of the orator's ethos is recognized both in Greek and Latin rhetorical tradition. Yet, it is in the Roman oratorical practice that the use of the ethos as a source of persuasion stands out. Based on the Ciceronian theory concerning the ethos, exposed in the De Oratore, II, 182-184, we aim to study in this paper the representation of the speaker's ethos in Cicero's Pro Milone, analyzing the rhetorical procedures applied to this process.
