Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch, His Life, His Parallel Lives, and His Morals IN preparing for the press a Lecture upon Plutarch which I delivered last year to a small Literary Society in Dublin, I was insensibly led on from one point to another, until, and I may say quite against my will and intention, that one had grown into many. I might hesitate to publish so much about one with whom everybody assumes himself familiar, were it not that, where such is indeed the fact, it is in almost every case only with his lives that this familiarity exists. The other writings of Plutarch, not unworthy of being known, are for all this so slightly known, that this little volume, more than one half of which is dedi cated to them, may, perhaps, contain enough which is not altogether old and outworn to justify its publi cation.

Excerpt: ...or The Heaven-City,1 a title which reads strangely in the light which the writings of Juvenal, of Tacitus, of St. Paul cast on the things which were perpetrated there. But there is as little trace in Plutarch of the one unfairness as of the other. If he loved Greece and his Greek worthies the best, Rome and her institutions, and the virtues by which she had attained to her preeminence, and the men who had helped her to this pre-eminence, filled him with a continual marvel and admiration. He had ever an open eye for her points of superiority, and was very free in acknowledging these; as, for instance, the tuXa/Stm, the reverent accuracy of the great men of Rome, and of the Romans in general, in the performance of divine offices, as set over against the comparative slovenliness and irreverence of his own countrymen, --the 1 Essays, vi. 32. G2 Athentzus, I, 36. Quotation from Dean Menvale. 85 subject being one to which he recurs again and again.1 Dean Merivale, who has excellent right to speak, has borne witness to the moral dignity of the man, the just weights and balances which, in making these comparisons, he never fails to use. It is only in part that I can quote his words: ' Throughout this long series of lives, this glittering array of virtues and vices, personal and national, there is no word, I think, of subservience or flattery, of scorn or vanity, of humiliation or triumph, to mark the position of the writer in the face of his Roman rulers. Whether we consider the book as addressed to the Greeks or to the Romans, the absence of any such indications of feeling is undoubtedly remarkable. To 1rie it seems most honourable to the one people and to the other'2--assuredly honourable above all to the writer himself. Yet with all this, it is..

Book excerpt: This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans or Parallel Lives is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, probably written at the beginning of the second century AD by Plutarch. Parallel Lives comprises 23 pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives. It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals described, but also about the times in which they lived. Volume I contains 13 pairs of biographies from Theseus and Romulus to Cimon and Lucullus, with comparisons.
Download or read book Plutarch s Lives written by Plutarch and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Greek historian PLUTARCH (c. 46 A.D.-120 A.D.) set out to tell the tales of the famous figures from Greek and Roman history, he was more concerned with illuminating their characters than enumerating their deeds, more interested in exploring their moral failings and triumphs than in listing their conquests. The result: Plutarch's Lives. Though Plutarch is known to have taken some liberties with his Lives-his comparisons of certain Greek and Roman figures are often more fanciful than strictly accurate-his words are, in many instances, the only sources of information that have survived for some personages. And in the aggregate, his radical approach to biography exerted a profound influence on the literature to come, particularly throughout the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Shakespeare lifted some passages verbatim from the Lives, and other writers inspired by Plutarch range from James Boswell to Alexander Hamilton to Cotton Mather. Ralph Waldo Emerson called the Lives a "bible for heroes." Across the five volumes, Plutarch explores the stories of such notables as: Romulus Pericles Coriolanus Pyrrhus Lysander Pompey Alexander Caesar Cicero Antony and others. Cosimo is proud to present these handsome new editions, based on the classic 17th-century translations by English poet and playwright JOHN DRYDEN (1631-1700), and revised and edited in the 19th century by Oxford scholar ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH (1819-1861).

This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutarch, later named, on his becoming a Roman citizen, Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus, c. 46 - 120 AD, was a Greek historian, biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist known primarily for his Parallel Lives and Moralia. Plutarch lived most of his life at Chaeronea, and his duties as the senior of the two priests of Apollo at the Oracle of Delphi (where he was responsible for interpreting the auguries of the Pythia) apparently occupied little of his time. He led an active social and civic life while producing an extensive body of writing, much of which survived. By his writings and lectures Plutarch became a celebrity in the Roman Empire. At his country estate, guests from all over the empire congregated for serious conversation, presided over by Plutarch in his marble chair. Many of these dialogues were recorded and published, and the 78 essays and other works which have survived are now known collectively as the Moralia. Plutarch's best-known work is the Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of famous Greeks and Romans, arranged in pairs to illuminate their common moral virtues and vices. The surviving Lives contain 23 pairs, each with one Greek Life and one Roman Life, as well as four unpaired single Lives. Some of the Lives, such as those of Heracles, Philip II of Macedon and Scipio Africanus, no longer exist; many of the remaining Lives are truncated, contain obvious lacunae or have been tampered with by later writers. Extant Lives include those on Aristides, Pericles, Pompey, Julius Caesar, Cicero, Cato the Younger, Mark Antony, and Marcus Junius Brutus, all of which are included here.
