Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 4 of 6: Translated From the Original Greek He was lame of' one leg; but that defect, during his youth, was covered by the agreeable turn of the rest of his person; and the easy and cheerful manner in which he bore it, and his being the first to rally himself upon it, always made it the less regarded. Nay, that defect made his spirit of enterprlse more remarkable; for he never declined, on that account, any undertaking, however difficult or laborious. We have no portrait or statue of him. He would not suffer any to be made While he lived, and at his death he utterly forbade it. We are only told, that he Was a little man, and that he had not a commanding aspect. But a perpetual vivac cheerfulness, attended with a talent for raillery, which was expressed without any severity either of voice or look, made him more agreeable, even in age, than the young and the handsome. Theophrastus tells us, the ejzlzori fined Archidamus for marrying a little wo man. She will bring us, said they, a race of pig. Mies, instead of kings.

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.

For this reason he des patched Lucullus into Egypt and Libya, to procure him a supply of ships. It was then the depth of winter; yet he scrupled not to sail with three small Greek brigantines, and as many small Rhodian galleys, which were to meet strong seas, and a number of the enemy's ships, which kept watch on all sides, because their strength lay there. In spite of this opposition he reached Crete, and brought it over to Sylla's interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
