Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Plutarch: Tales of the Romans Another thing which I could wish the children to observe is how the wisest and best of the an cients were in the bonds of fear to signs and por tents which men laugh at now. This was because their education was, at the best, philosophical, and dealt with conduct through the discussion of moral principles under gods who had none, while the modern education is scientific, and has enlarged the world to boundlessness through vaster knowledge and sympathy with every form of life. The Ro man world, though it was the whole civilized world, was a small world, and it sank at last under the fears and dangers that always encompassed it in the unknown beyond it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Plutarch: Tales of the Romans I do not know why it is that among the Greeks and Romans who are so nearly fabulous as to be scarcely historical at all, Romulus should have a living hold upon the imagination, and Theseus should remain a very dim memory. The Lives of Plutarch begin with these founders of the Roman and the Grecian states, but if the balance tilts so heavily on the side of the Romans, it is dressed in favor of the Greeks in the next following lives of Lycurgus and Numa, and the next of Solon and Poplicola, and the fourth pair, Themistocles and Camillus. It is not until we come to Pericles and Fabius that the balance begins to be even again; and there the splendor of the Grecian's statesmanship eclipses the glory of the Roman patriot in the eyes of those who value civic genius above military virtue.

Download or read book The Children s Plutarch written by Plutarch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jump into Greek and Roman history with the easy-to-read The Children's Plutarch, Tales of the Romans and Greeks, by Plutarch and J.F. Gould. Plutarch was an early Greek writer who lived from 46 to 120 AD. Plutarch's most well known work is Parallel Lives, where he compared famous Greeks and Romans. The book influenced Shakespeare, who consulted the biographies while writing his Roman plays. Plutarch's Lives were biographies of the most famous men and women in the Greek and Roman pantheon. By writing them, Plutarch intended to describe the character, vitality and heroic deeds of these famous people, and he turned to the famous library at Alexandria to help him reconstruct their lives. Gould takes Plutarch's biographies and tells them in simple language for readers of approximately 10 to 14 years old. The book is also a good introduction to Plutarch's Lives for readers of all ages because it is the most condensed version of Plutarch that is available in English. The text includes pronunciations. The Children's Plutarch provides a brief biography of most of the Greeks who appeared in Plutarch's Lives, like Solon, Lycurgus, Aristides, Lysander, Agis, Agesilaus, Demosthenes, Alexander, Dion, Timoleon, and others. Rather than complete biographies, the chapters are quick sketches illustrating life lessons. For example, in The Just Man, Plutarch tells the story of Aristides, who was praised by Herodotus as the most just man in all of Greece. The moral of the story is that honor is better than money. Plutarch's lives emphasize life lessons and character over historical record, but Plutarch was the only historian to record certain historical events, which lends credibility to his accounts. If you enjoy history and are looking for a condensed summary of major Greek and Roman figures, then you will love read The Children's Plutarch, Tales of the Romans and Greeks.
