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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutarch's Lives Volume III. by George Long Excerpt LIFE OF NIKIAS. As it appears to me that the life of Nikias forms a good parallel to that of Crassus, and that the misfortunes of the former in Sicily may be well compared with those of the latter in Parthia, I must beg of my readers to believe that in writing upon a subject which has been described by Thucydides with inimitable grace, clearness, and pathos, I have no ambition to imitate Timæus, who, when writing his history, hoped to surpass Thucydides himself in eloquence, and to show that Philistius was but an ignorant bungler, and so plunges into an account of the speeches and battles of his heroes, proving himself not merely one We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

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.

Download or read book Plutarch's Lives, Volume 3 (of 4) written by Plutarch and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-08-12 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutarch's Lives, Volume 3 (of 4) is a timeless classic that offers a detailed account of the lives of famous Greeks and Romans, exploring their character, virtues, and vices. Plutarch's narrative style combines biography with moral philosophy, providing readers with valuable insights into the past. The book's literary context lies in the tradition of ancient biographies, focusing on portraying the moral virtues and flaws of its subjects. Plutarch's use of parallel lives allows readers to compare and contrast the personalities of notable figures such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, enhancing the reader's understanding of history and human nature. Plutarch, a Greek historian and biographer, was renowned for his meticulous research and philosophical reflections on the lives of great men. His deep understanding of human nature and commitment to moral education are evident in Plutarch's Lives. It is believed that Plutarch wrote these biographies to inspire readers to emulate the virtues of the illustrious figures he portrayed. I recommend Plutarch's Lives, Volume 3 (of 4) to readers interested in classical literature, history, and philosophy. This book provides a unique perspective on the lives of influential individuals, shedding light on the complexities of human character and the enduring relevance of moral virtue.
