Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives of Illustrious Men, Vol. 3: John Dryden's Translation Corrected From the Greek and Revised and Annotated Notwithstanding, he frequently incurred Alexander's displeasure, and put himself into some danger, through Hephaestion. The quarters that had been taken up for Eumenes, Hephaestion assigned to Euius, the flute-player. Upon which, in great anger, Eumenes and Mentor came to Alexander, and loudly complained, saying that the way to be regarded was to throw away their arms, and turn flute-players or tragedians; SO much SO that Alexander took their part and chid Hephaestion; but soon after changed his mind again, and was angry with Eumenes, and accounted the freedom he had taken to be rather an affront to the king, than a reflection upon He phaestion. Afterwards, when N earchus, with a fleet, was to be sent to the Southern Sea, Alexander borrowed money of his friends, his own treasury being exhausted, and would have had three hundred talents of Eumenes, but he sent a hundred only, pretending that it was not without great difficulty he had raised so much from his stewards. Alexander neither complained nor took the money, but gave private order to set Eumenes's tent on fire, designing to take him in a manifest lie, when his money was carried out. But before that could be done, the tent was consumed, and Alexander repented of his orders, all his papers being burnt; the gold and silver, however, which was melted down in the fire, being afterwards collected, was found to be more than one thousand talents; yet Alexander took none of it, and only wrote to the several governors and generals to send new copies of the papers that were burnt, and ordered them to be delivered to Eumenes.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 6 of 6: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a Life of Plutarch After Dionysius the Elder had seized the govern ment of Sicily it, he married the daughter of Her mocrates, a Syracusan. As the monarchic power however was yet but ill established, she had the misfortune to be so dreadfully abused in her person by an outrageous faction, that she put an end to her life. When Dionysius was confirmed in his govern ment, he married two wives at the same time. One was Doris, a native of Locris; the other Aristo mache, the daughter of Hipparinus, a principal p son in Syracuse, who had been his collegue when he was first appointed general of the Sicilian forces. These wives, it is said, he married 011 the same day. It is not certain which he enjoyed first, but he was afterward most impartial in his attentions to them for both attended him at his table, and alternately partook of his bed. As Doris had the disadvantage of being a foreigner, the Syracusans sought every method of obtaining the preference for their coun trywoman; but it was more than equivalent to the disadvantage ofthe former, that she had the honour of giving Dionysius his eldest son. Aristomache on the contrary was for a long time barren, though the king was extremely desirous of having children by her, and even put Doris' mother to death, on a supposition that she had prevented her conception by potions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a New Life of Plutarch From thence he passed to Cyrene, where he delivered the people from the tyrants and civil wars with which they had been harassed, and re-esta blished their constitution. In this he availed himself of a saying of Plato, who when he was desired to give them a body of laws, and to settle their government upon rational principles, gave them this oracular answer, It is very difficult to give laws to so pros perons a people. In fact nothing is harder to govern than man when for tune smiles, nor anything more tracta ble than he when calamity lays her hands upon him. Hence it was that Lucullus found the Cyrenians so pliant and submissive to his regulations. Palmerins takes this for Ptolemy Auletes, but Auletes was not king till the year before Christ sixty-five. It must, therefore, have been Ptolemy Lathyrus. For Sylla con. Cluded the peace with Mithridates in the year before Christ eighty-two.
