PLUTARCH We know almost nothing about the life of the author of the most famous of all Lives PLUTARCH , essentially a Greek provincial man of letters, withdrew to his native town, where he wrote voluminous works, devoted himself to local affairs, and to his priesthood of Apollo at Delphi, and to the composition of his famous Parallel Lives . His work on Apophthegms is dedicated to the Emperor Trajan, who died A.D. 117. We know no more. The greatest of all biographers did not write his own life. Although we know so little of the facts of Plutarch's life, we know intimately the character of the man. He was a well-bred, well-trained, well-read, genial, just, and honourable moralist of the old school: somewhat garrulous, setentious, and credulous: but overflowing with interesting anecdote, a consummate master of lifelike portraiture, with a deep foundation of pure, simple, and humane morality. He was an enlightened and pious polytheist, verging on Monotheism of the Neo-Platonic kind; who, without much sympathy for modern Roman culture, and without much knowledge of the Roman Empire at its highest grandeur, devoted himself to elaborate a spontaneous scheme of practical ethics. His ethical writings, called in Latin Moralia , are amongst the most valuable pictures we possess of antique manners and thoughts. But they are surpassed by the

skip to main skip to sidebar Underbelly Not A Word About the Pig Tuesday, February 19, 2008 Plutarch on Kindness As I get older, I tend to admire brilliance less and kindness more. This may be just selfishness: I am less and less likely to be brilliant (if I ever was likely to be) and I probably find (or expect to find) myself more in need of kindness. Plutarch thought Cato a good man in so many ways, but he does notice one odd or unexpected quirk. Plutarch sees fit to pause and reflect on the point: For my own part I regard his conduct towards his slaves in treating them like beasts of burden, exploiting them to the limits of their strength, and then, when they were old, driving them off and selling them, as the mark of a thoroughly ungenerous nature, which cannot recognize any bond between man and man but that of necessity. And yet we see that kindness possesses a far wider sphere of action than justice, for it is in the nature of things that law and justice are confined to our dealings with our fellow men, whereas kindness and charity, which often flow from a gentle nature like water form an abundant spring, may be extended even to dumb animals. A kindly man will take good care of his horses even when they are worn out in his service, and will look after his dogs not only when they are puppies, but when they need special treatment. For my part, I would not sell even my draught ox simply because of his age, far less turn out an old man from the home and the way of life to which he has grown accustomed for the sake of a few paltry coins, especially since he would be of no more use to the buyer than he was to the seller.

Help Plutarch's Parallel Lives Antony More of this Feature Aemilius Paulus Agesilaus Agis Alcibiades ... Comparison of Timoleon and Aemilius The grandfather of Antony was the famous pleader, whom Marius put to death for having taken part with Sylla. His father was Antony, surnamed of Crete, not very famous or distinguished in public life, but a worthy, good man, and particularly remarkable for his liberality, as may appear from a single example. He was not very rich, and was for that reason checked in the exercise of his good-nature by his wife. A friend that stood in need of money came to borrow of him. Money he had none, but he bade a servant bring him water in a silver basin, with which, when it was brought, he wetted his face, as if he meant to shave; and, sending away the servant upon another errand, gave his friend the basin, desiring him to turn it to his purpose. And when there was, afterwards, a great inquiry for it in the house, and his wife was in a very ill humor, and was going to put the servants one by one to the search, he acknowledged what he had done, and begged her pardon. All this appears to have aggravated party quarrels in Rome, and to have encouraged the soldiers in acts of license and rapacity. And, accordingly, when Caesar came home, he acquitted Dolabella, and, being created the third time consul, took, not Antony, but Lepidus, for his colleague. Pompey's house being offered for sale, Antony bought it, and, when the price was demanded of him, loudly complained. This, he tells us himself, and because he thought his former services had not been recompensed as they deserved, made him not follow Caesar with the army into Libya. However, Caesar, by dealing gently with his errors, seems to have succeeded in curing him of a good deal of his folly and extravagance. He gave up his former courses, and took a wife, Fulvia, the widow of Clodius the demagogue, a woman not born for spinning or housewifery, nor one that could be content with ruling a private husband, but prepared to govern a first

Best known for his "Lives" a series of biographies of famous philosophers and politicians Plutarch was also an esteemed philosopher in his own right. This essay is among his most frequently cited works.] TRACT I You ask of me then for what reason it was that Pythagoras abstained from eating of flesh. I for my part do much wonder in what humor, with what soul or reason, the first man with his mouth touched slaughter, and reached to his lips the flesh of a dead animal, and having set before people courses of ghastly corpses and ghosts, could give those parts the names of meat and victuals, that but a little before lowed, cried, moved, and saw; how his sight could endure the blood of slaughtered, flayed, and mangled bodies; how his smell could bear their scent; and how the very nastiness happened not to offend the taste, while it chewed the sores of others, and participated of the saps and juices of deadly wounds.

PLUTARCH, on BIOGRAPHY Plutarch, "Life of Alexander the Great" Chapter 1: "My subject in this book is the life of Alexander the King [356-323], and of Julius Caesar [100-44], the conqueror of Pompey the Great [106-48]. The careers of these men embrace such a multitude of events that my preamble shall consist of nothing more than this one plea: if I do not record all their most celebrated achievements [i.e. Annals] or describe any one of them exhaustively [i.e. monograph], but merely summarize for the most part what they accomplished, I ask my readers not to regard this as a fault. For I am writing BIOGRAPHY, not HISTORY, and the truth is that the most brilliant exploits often tell us nothing of the virtues or vices of the men who performed them, while on the other hand a chance remark or a joke may reveal far more of A MAN'S CHARACTER than the mere feat of winning battles in which thousands fall, or of marshalling great armies, or laying siege to cities. When a portrait painter sets out to create a likeness, he relies above all upon the face and the expression of the eyes, and pays less attention to the other parts of the body. In the same way, it is my intention to dewll upon THOSE ACTIONS WHICH ILLUMINATE THE WORKINGS OF THE SOUL, and by this means to create a portrait of each man's life. I leave the story of his greatest struggles and achievements to be told by others...."

Excerpt of: Plutarch Numa Pompilius, ca. 75 C.E. Plutarch (46 - 119 CE) Plutarch was a biographer and author whose works strongly influenced the evolution of the essay, the biography, and historical writing in Europe from the 16th to the 19th century. Among his approximately 227 works, the most important are the Bioi parall e loi Parallel Lives ), in which he recounts the noble deeds and characters of Greek and Roman soldiers, legislators, orators, and statesmen, and the Moralia, or Ethica, a series of more than 60 essays on ethical, religious, physical, political, and literary topics. He was born in Chaeronea, Boeotia [Greece]. His name is Plutarchos (Greek) and Plutarchus (Latin) Numa Pompilius lived around 700 B.C.E. and was the second of the seven kings who, according to Roman tradition, ruled Rome before the founding of the Republic ( c . 509 B.C.E.). He is said to have reigned from 715 to 673. He is credited with the formulation of the religious calendar and with the founding of Rome's other early religious institutions, including the Vestal Virgins; the cults of Mars, Jupiter, and Romulus deified (Quirinus); and the office of pontifex maximus . These developments were actually, however, the result of centuries of religious accretion. According to legend, Numa is the peaceful counterpart of the more bellicose Romulus (the legendary founder of Rome), whom he succeeded after an interregnum of one year. His supposed relationship with Pythagoras was known even in the Roman Republic to be chronologically impossible, and the 14 books relating to philosophy and religious (pontifical) law that were uncovered in 181 BC and attributed to him were clearly forgeries.

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Parallel Lives, I Theseus and Romulus. Lycurgus and Numa. Solon and Publicola Plutarch Translated by Bernadotte Perrin CE , was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the 46 Parallel Lives , biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch's many other varied extant works, about 60 in number, are known as Moralia or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics and religion. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the Lives is in eleven volumes.

Home document.write(''); Eugene Volokh January 24, 2008 at 1:47pm Trackbacks From Plutarch's Life of Solon (paragraph break added): [Anacharsis] laughed at [Solon] for imagining the dishonesty and covetousness of his countrymen could be restrained by written laws, which were like spiders' webs, and would catch, it is true, the weak and poor, but easily be broken by the mighty and rich. To this Solon rejoined that men keep their promises when neither side can get anything by the breaking of them; and he would so fit his laws to the citizens, that all should understand it was more eligible to be just than to break the laws. But the event rather agreed with the conjecture of Anacharsis than Solon's hope. Thanks to my colleague and former teacher Bill McGovern for the pointer. link Mary Katherine Day-Petrano ( mail What's the point of this thread? Is this some sort of UCLA law school final exam question or something? link John Kindley ( mail www The point, as I read it, is similar to that of Albert Jay Nock's book Our Enemy, The State: namely, that the State has always originated and still consists, not in an effort to restrain the stronger/richer from exploiting the weaker/poorer, but in the project of enabling the stronger/richer to more effectively oppress and exploit the weaker/poorer. It's good to see a "respectable" libertarian making that point. link The ability to evade laws is a good like any other, and thus more readily available to those with the means to purchase greater amounts of goods. Very nice quote. I shall have to read more Plutarch.

Proclaim the Great Pan is dead In a time when right is weak, we may be thankful if might assumes a form of gentleness Plutarch I t was in the haze of an overcast morning. The season had already advanced and most of the shipping in the Aegean had ceased for the winter. Plutarch puts a date to the incident. He says it was in the reign of Emperor Tiberius, a decade or two before Plutarch himself was born. The crew on a merchant vessel, passing under the islands of Echinades, suddenly heard a mysterious voice calling out from the distant shore. It called out three times, when you reach Palodes proclaim that the great god Pan is dead Plutarch Why was this so memorable for Plutarch? Was he aware that the times were about to change; that his own, not altogether golden age had come to an end? That the mountains seemed no longer so tall anymore? That the length of the shadows grew and the rivers ran shallow? Reading Plutarch (c.46-120 AD.) leaves fond memories, of a gentle man, " one of the most charming, most fully informed, and altogether most effective writers of antiquity. Sprung from a family of means in a small Boetian country-town, and introduced to the full impact of Hellenic culture, first at home and then at Athens and Alexandria, and familiar with Roman affairs through his studies and a multitude of personal relations, as well as from his travels to Italy, he disdained to enter into the service of the Empire or to adopt the common career of gifted Greeks. He remained faithful to his home, enjoying domestic life, in the best sense of the word, with his wonderful wife and his children, and with his friends, male and female, and was content with the offices and honors which his own Boeotia was able to offer him, and with his modest property he had inherited

56. Plutarch On Alexander plutarch, Alexander, in The Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, John Dryden and Arthur H. Clough, trs. and eds. vol. 3 (Boston Little, Brown, http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/PlutAlex.html

Plutarch on Alexander [Plutarch, "Alexander," in The Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, John Dryden and Arthur H. Clough, trs. and eds. vol. 3 (Boston: Little, Brown, and Co., 1902)] At the time, nobody had any suspicion of his being poisoned, but upon some information given six years after, they say Olympias put many to death, and scattered the ashes of Iolaus, then dead, as if he had given it him. But those who affirm that Aristotle counselled Antipater to do it, and that by his means the poison was brought, adduced one Hagnothemis as their authority, who, they say, heard King Antigonus speak of it, and tell us that the poison was water, deadly cold as ice, distilled from a rock in the district of Nonacris, which they gathered like a thin dew, and kept in an ass's hoof; for it was so very cold and penetrating that no other vessel would hold it. However, most are of opinion that all this is a mere made-up story, no slight evidence of which is, that during the dissensions among the commanders, which lasted several days, the body continued clear and fresh, without any sign of such taint or corruption, though it lay neglected in a close sultry place. Roxana, who was now with child, and upon that account much honoured by the Macedonians, being jealous of Statira, sent for her by a counterfeit letter, as if Alexander had been still alive; and when she had her in her power, killed her and her sister, and threw their bodies into a well, which they filled up with earth, not without the privity and assistance of Perdiccas, who in the time immediately following the king's death, under cover of the name of Arrhidaeus, whom he carried about him as a sort of guard to his person, exercised the chief authority. Arrhidaeus, who was Philip's son by an obscure woman of the name of Philinna, was himself of weak intellect, not that he had been originally deficient either in body or mind, on the contrary, in his childhood, he had showed a happy and promising character enough. But a diseased habit of body, caused by drugs which Olympias gave him, had ruined, not only his health, but his understanding.

Traveling throughout Hellas and to Rome as ambassador of his native city, he associated with prominent political and literary figures and proclaimed that Greeks and Romans should be partners in the Roman Empire. In Chaeronea, he maintained a sort of private academy for his friends and pupils, remaining active into old age. Sponsor Message.
