Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero
The various schools of ancient Greek philosophy that Cicero sought to transmit to a Roman audience through his philosophical writings.
As a philosopher, Cicero’s most important function was to make his countrymen familiar with the main schools of Greek thought.
Stromata
The body of Greek philosophical teaching, characterized here as a defensive fence around revealed truth rather than a source of truth in itself.
and Greek philosophy, coming to it, does not make the truth more powerful, but, by rendering powerless the sophistical attempt against it and beating back the treacherous plots against the truth, it has fitly been called a fence and a wall of the vineyard.
