Book excerpt: Plutarch of Chaeronea is one of the great storytellers of antiquity, a writer whose ability to create unforgettable scenes matches the grandeur of his subject matter. The heroes of his Lives were the great men of antiquity, often greatly flawed, but with tragic depth and epic stature. Thomas North's translation, one of the most splendid works of sixteenth-century English prose, presents a vigorous and passionate version of the Lives whose qualities so attracted Shakespeare that he used North as his major source for Julius Caesar, Coriolanus and Antony & Cleopatra. This collection includes all the Lives which Shakespeare used and a selection of others which aim to show the variety and range of Plutarch's writing.

Download or read book Plutarch's Lives, Volume 1 (of 4) written by Plutarch and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-08-12 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutarch's Lives, Volume 1 (of 4) is a classic work of biography and historical analysis that delves into the lives of famous Greek and Roman figures such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Plutarch's distinctive literary style combines factual information with moral lessons and character sketches, providing readers with a rich tapestry of human experience. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the great leaders and thinkers of antiquity, offering valuable insights into their accomplishments and failures. Plutarch's use of comparison and contrast in his biographies highlights the virtues and vices of his subjects, making this volume a must-read for students of history and literature alike. Plutarch, a Greek historian and biographer, was deeply interested in exploring the complexities of human character and the impact of individual decisions on history. His meticulous research and thoughtful analysis in Plutarch's Lives reflect his dedication to uncovering the truth behind the myths surrounding ancient figures. Plutarch's own experiences as a teacher and philosopher likely influenced his approach to writing, as he sought to educate and inspire his readers through the lives of notable individuals. I highly recommend Plutarch's Lives, Volume 1 (of 4) to anyone interested in ancient history, classical literature, or the art of biography. This foundational work offers a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that continues to resonate with readers today.

Download or read book Plutarch's Lives - Vol. III written by Plutarch and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutarch's “Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans”, often simply referred to as “Plutarch's Lives”, is a series of biographies of notable ancient Greek and Roman figures most likely written at the beginning of the second century AD. Instead of simply writing histories, Plutarch explores the effect that character, good or bad, had on the lives and careers of these famous men, to which end the people treated are ordered in pairs in an attempt to highlight their common moral virtues or shortcomings. This book contains volume III of the English translation by Aubrey Stewart and George Long, presented here for the enjoyment of modern readers with an interest in the ancient world. Contents include: “Life of Nikias”, “Life of Crassus”, “Comparison of Nikias and Crassus”, “Life of Sertorius”, “Life of Eumenes”, “Comparison of Sertorius and Eumenes”, “Life of Agesilaus”, etc. Plutarch (c. AD 46 – AD 120) was a Greek biographer and essayist most famous for this series of biographies and his work “Moralia”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Download or read book The Life of Alexander the Great written by Plutarch and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 336 b.c. Philip of Macedonia was assassinated and his twenty-year-old son, Alexander, inherited his kingdom. Immediately quelling rebellion, Alexander extended his father’s empire through-out the Middle East and into parts of Asia, fulfilling the soothsayer Aristander’s prediction that the new king “should perform acts so important and glorious as would make the poets and musicians of future ages labour and sweat to describe and celebrate him.” The Life of Alexander the Great is one of the first surviving attempts to memorialize the achievements of this legendary king, remembered today as the greatest military genius of all time. This exclusive Modern Library edition, excerpted from Plutarch’s Lives, is a riveting tale of honor, power, scandal, and bravery written by the most eminent biographer of the ancient world.

This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating from a study of the people's attitude in the first thirty years of the nineteenth century toward the classics, English Translations from the Greek by Finley Melville Kendall Foster lists the significant translations published during those years. In order to have the necessary material for a close study of the original list, extensive research was conducted for around fifty years. The result of these discoveries is embodied in the list of translations that make up this book's contents. Foster hopes to educate people about and make them familiar with the various kinds of Greek literature that have been popular at different times during the last four hundred and thirty years. He has in no way attempted to discuss the standards or the benchmarks of a good translation, the reason being that the making of an English version of a Greek original presents difficulties little distinct from those of translation from any other language into English.

Download or read book The Makers of Rome written by Plutarch and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-04-29 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These nine biographies illuminate the careers, personalities and military campaigns of some of Rome's greatest statesmen, whose lives span the earliest days of the Republic to the establishment of the Empire. Selected from Plutarch's Roman Lives, they include prominent figures who achieved fame for their pivotal roles in Roman history, such as soldierly Marcellus, eloquent Cato and cautious Fabius. Here too are vivid portraits of ambitious, hot-tempered Coriolanus; objective, principled Brutus and open-hearted Mark Anthony, who would later be brought to life by Shakespeare. In recounting the lives of these great leaders, Plutarch also explores the problems of statecraft and power and illustrates the Roman people's genius for political compromise, which led to their mastery of the ancient world.
