Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 4 of 4: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes, Historical and Critical; And a Life of Plutach After Agis was put to death, Leonidas intended the same fate for his brother Archidamus; but that prince saved himself by a timely retreat. However, his wife Agiatis, who was newly brought to bed, was forced by the tyrant from her own house, and given to his son Cleomenes. Cleomenes was not quite come to years of maturity, but his father was not willing that any other man should have the lady; for she was daughter to Gylippus, and heiress to his great estate; and, in beauty, as well as happiness of temper and conduct, superior to all the women of Greece. She left nothing unattempted to prevent her being forced into this match, but found all her efforts ineffectual. Therefore, when she was married to Cleomenes, she made him a good and affectionate wife, though she hated his father. Cleomenes was passionately fond of her from the first; and his attachment to his wife made him sympathize with her on the mournful remembrance of Agis. He would often ask her for the history of that unfortunate prince, and listen with great attention to her account of his sentiments and designs. Cleomenes was ambitious of glory, and had a native greatness of mind. Nature had, moreover, disposed him to temperance and simplicity of manners as much as Agis, but he nad not his calmness and moderation. His spirit had an ardour in it; and there was an impetuosity in his pursuits of honour, or whatever appeared to him under that cnaracter. He thought it most glorious to reign over a willing people; but at the same time, he thought it not inglorious to suodue their reluctances, and bring them against their inclinations into what was good and salutary. He was not satisfied with the prevailing manners and customs of Sparta. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 4 of 4: Translated From the Greek, With Notes and a Life of Plutarch XIV. The Spartans at once despatched Agis at the head of an army, whose high spirits and devotion to his person filled him with delight. The men were nearly all young and poor; and as they were now relieved from the pressure Of their debts, and expected that on their return the land would be distributed amongst them, they behaved with the most admirable discipline. They marched through Peloponnesus without doing the least damage, without Offending any one, almost without noise; so that all the cities were astonished at the spectacle thus afforded them, and men began to wonder what a Lacedaemonian army must have been like when led by Agesilaus or Lysander the Great, or by the ancient hero Leonidas, if such awe and reverence was paid by the soldiers to one who was nearly the youngest of them all. Their youthful leader himself was worthy of admiration, and'was looked up to by the men because of his simple hard-working habits, and the pride which he took in wearing the same dress and using the same arms as the common soldiers. The revolution which he had effected, however, was very dis tasteful to the rich, who feared lest it might be taken as an example by the people in other states and lead to further disturbances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 3 of 4: Translated From the Greek Athenians because they protected the people of Egesta, who were descended from the Trojans, whereas he had been wrostged by Laomedon, king of Troy, and had destroyed that city. Timaeus was probably led to write this sort of nonsense by the same critical literary Spirit which led him to correct the style of Philistins, and to find fault with that of Aristotle and Plato. My own Opinion is that to pay too much attention to mere style and to endeavour to surpass that of other writers, is both trifling and pedantic, while any attempt to reproduce that of the unapproachable masterpieces of antiquity springs from a want of power to appreciate their real value. With regard, then, to the actions of Nikias described by Thucydides and Philistins, more especially those which illustrate his true character, having been performed under the stress of terrible disasters, I shall briefly re capitulate them, lest I be thought a careless biographer, adding to them whatever scattered notices I have been able to collect from the writings of other historians and from public documents and inscriptions; and of these latter I shall quote only those which enable us to judge what manner of man he was.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 2 of 4: Translated From the Greek, With Notes and a Life of Plutarch For neither is avoidance of death blameable, if a man does not cling to his life from dishonourable motives; nor is exposure to peril honourable, if it springs from careless ness of life. For this reason Homer always brings the most daring and warlike heroes into battle well and beautifully armed, and the Greek lawgivers punish the man who throws away his Shield, but not him who throws away his Sword or spear, showing that it is each man's duty to take more care that he does not receive. Hurt himself, than to hurt the enemy, especially if he be the chief Of an army or city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
