Eros appears frequently in the four groups of Latin declamations, but two of the 19 major declamations are particularly interesting in this regard. In declamation XIV a meretrix gives her lover a hate potion and is accused of poisoning. In declamation XV we have the defense of the meretrix . These two declamations are interesting also because, together with declamations XVIII and XIX, they are the only ones which have accusation and defense, exploring similar arguments.
