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..

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.

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.
