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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutarch's Parallel Lives were written to compare famous Greeks and Romans. This most obvious aspect of their parallelism is frequently ignored in the drive to mine Plutarch for historical fact. However, the eleven contributors to the present volume, who include most of the world's leading commentators on Plutarch, together bring out many ways in which Plutarch invoked aspects of parallelism. They show how pervasive and how central the whole notion was to his thinking. With new analysis of the synkriseis; with discussion of parallels within and across the Lives and in the Moralia; with an examination of why the basic parallel structure of the Lives lost its importance in the Renaissance, this volume presents fresh ideas on a neglected topic crucial to Plutarch's literary creation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 1 of 4: Translated From the Greek With Notes and a Life of Plutarch N O apologies are needed for a new edition Of so favourite an author as Plutarch. From the period Of the revival of classical literature in Europe down to our own times, his writings have done more than those Of any other single author to familiarise us with the greatest men and the greatest events Of the ancient world. The great Duke Of Marlborough, it is said, confessed that his only knowledge Of English history was derived from Shakespeare's historical plays, and it would not be too much to say that a very large proportion of educated men, in our own as well as in Marlborough's times, have owed much Of their knowledge Of classical antiquity to the study Of Plutarch's Lives. Other writers may be read with profit, with admiration, and with interest; but few, like Plutarch, can gossip pleasantly while instruct ing solidly; can breathe life into the dry skeleton Of history, and show that the life Of a Greek or Roman worthy, when rightly dealt with, can prove as entertain in g as a modern novel. NO one is so well able as Plutarch to dispel the doubt which all schoolboys feel as to whether the names about which they read ever belonged to men who were really alive; his characters are so intensely human and lifelike in their faults and failings as well as in their virtues, that we begin to think of them as of people whom we have ourselves personally known.

Download or read book The Age of Caesar: Five Roman Lives written by Plutarch and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Plutarch regularly shows that great leaders transcend their own purely material interests and petty, personal vanities. Noble ideals actually do matter, in government as in life." —Michael Dirda, Washington Post A brilliant new translation of five of history’s greatest lives from Plutarch, the inventor of biography. Pompey, Caesar, Cicero, Brutus, Antony: the names resonate across thousands of years. Major figures in the civil wars that brutally ended the Roman republic, their lives still haunt us as examples of how the hunger for personal power can overwhelm collective politics, how the exaltation of the military can corrode civilian authority, and how the best intentions can lead to disastrous consequences. Plutarch renders these history-making lives as flesh-and-blood characters, often by deftly marshalling small details such as the care Brutus exercised in his use of money or the disdain Caesar felt for the lofty eloquence of Cicero. Plutarch was a Greek intellectual who lived roughly one hundred years after the age of Caesar. At home in the world of Roman power, he preferred to live in the past, among the great figures of Greek and Roman history. He intended his biographical profiles to be mirrors of character that readers could use to inspire their own values and behavior—emulating virtues and rejecting flaws. For Plutarch, character was destiny for both the individual and the republic. He was our first master of the biographical form, a major source for Shakespeare and Gibbon. This edition features a new translation by Pamela Mensch that lends a brilliant clarity to Plutarch’s prose. James Romm’s notes guide readers gracefully through the people, places, and events named in the profiles. And Romm’s preface, along with Mary Beard’s introduction, provide the perfect frame for understanding Plutarch and the momentous history he narrates.
