Source biography for Caesar's life by plutarch from the Internet Classics Archive
http://classics.mit.edu/Plutarch/caesar.html

Extractions: After Sylla became master of Rome, he wished to make Caesar put away his wife Cornelia, daughter of Cinna, the late sole ruler of the commonwealth, but was unable to effect it either by promises or intimidation, and so contented himself with confiscating her dowry. The ground of Sylla's hostility to Caesar was the relationship between him and Marius; for Marius, the elder, married Julia, the sister of Caesar's father, and had by her the younger Marius, who consequently was Caesar's first cousin. And though at the beginning, while so many were to be put to death, and there was so much to do, Caesar was overlooked by Sylla, yet he would not keep quiet, but presented himself to the people as a candidate for the priesthood

Extractions: Priest of the Delphic Oracle Go to Home Page for 15 Greek Heroes from Plutarch's Lives Greece, by the turn of the first millenium, was a sad ruin of its former glory. Mighty Rome had looted its statues and reduced Greece to conquered territory. Despite these circumstances, Mestrius Plutarchus (known to history as Plutarch) lived a long and fruitful life with his wife and family in the little Greek town of Chaeronea. For many years Plutarch served as one of the two priests at the temple of Apollo at Delphi (the site of the famous Delphic Oracle) twenty miles from his home. By his writings and lectures Plutarch became a celebrity in the Roman empire, yet he continued to reside where he was born, and actively participated in local affairs, even serving as mayor. 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 the78 essays and other works which have survived are now known collectively as the Moralia After the horrors of Nero and Domitian, and the partisan passions of civil war, Rome was ready for some gentle enlightenment from the priest of Apollo. Plutarch's essays and his lectures established him as a leading thinker in the Roman empire's golden age: the reigns of Nerva, Trajan, and Hadrian.

Ancient History Sourcebook: Plutarch: Carneades' Visit To Rome
The Roman historian's account of this Greek philosopher's visit to Rome, during which he argued opposite sides of an argument on successive days, incurring Roman disgust. From the Ancient History Sourcebook.
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/plut_carneades.html

Extractions: from Life of Cato the Elder In 155 BCE, the Athenians sent a delegation to Rome. It included three philosophers, among them Carneades. He was an important member of Plato's school, the Academy, which by this time had become a center of skepticism. Carneades shocked Rome by arguing convincingly for one argument one day, and then refuting all his arguments the following day. Cato the Censor reacted unfavorably - all three philosophers were sent back to Athens. This text is part of the Internet Ancient History Sourcebook . The Sourcebook is a collection of public domain and copy-permitted texts related to medieval and Byzantine history. © Paul Halsall May 1998

http://www.crystalinks.com/plutarch.html

Extractions: Plutarch was born in AD 46,, Chaeronea, Boeotia [Greece] and died after 119 Greek PLUTARCHOS, Latin PLUTARCHUS, 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 paralleloi (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. Life. Plutarch was the son of Aristobulus, himself a biographer and philosopher. In 66-67, Plutarch studied mathematics and philosophy at Athens under the philosopher Ammonius. Public duties later took him several times to Rome, where he lectured on philosophy, made many friends, and perhaps enjoyed the acquaintance of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian. According to the Suda lexicon (a Greek dictionary dating c. AD 1000), Trajan bestowed the high rank of an ex-consul upon him. Although this may be true, a report of a 4th-century church historian, Eusebius, that Hadrian made Plutarch governor of Greece is probably apocryphal. A Delphic inscription reveals that he possessed Roman citizenship; his nomen, or family name, Mestrius, was no doubt adopted from his friend Lucius Mestrius Florus, a Roman consul.
Plutarch's ALEXANDER
Translated by John Dryden.
http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/Renault/fire.plutarch.html

Extractions: text source image source Philip, after this vision, sent Chaeron of Megalopolis to consult the oracle of Apollo at Delphi, by which he was commanded to perform sacrifice, and henceforth pay particular honour, above all other gods, to Ammon; and was told he should one day lose that eye with which he presumed to peep through that chink of the door, when he saw the god, under the form of a serpent, in the company of his wife. Eratosthenes says that Olympias, when she attended Alexander on his way to the army in his first expedition, told him the secret of his birth, and bade him behave himself with courage suitable to his divine extraction. Others again affirm that she wholly disclaimed any pretensions of the kind, and was wont to say, "When will Alexander leave off slandering me to Juno?" Alexander was born the sixth of Hecatombaeon, which month the Macedonians call Lous, the same day that the temple of Diana at Ephesus was burnt; which Hegesias of Magnesia makes the occasion of a conceit, frigid enough to have stopped the conflagration. The temple, he says, took fire and was burnt while its mistress was absent, assisting at the birth of Alexander. And all the Eastern soothsayers who happened to be then at Ephesus, looking upon the ruin of this temple to be the forerunner of some other calamity, ran about the town, beating their faces, and crying that this day had brought forth something that would prove fatal and destructive to all Asia.

Extractions: A Comparative Exploration of Text and Source Welcome. This series of connected pages presents a comparative exploration of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and Plutarch's The Life of Marcus Antonius , Shakespeares primary source for Antony and Cleopatra. Short passages from both texts, set side by side, offer a unique perspective on Shakespeare's use of source, and on how narrative becomes drama. Click here to begin browsing Shakespeare and Plutarch Compared. Within the 61 "pages" of compared text, I've tried to devote each page to a short passage of one or two paragraphs. In some cases, though, the pages are longer - at times, what Plutarch manages to say in one line, Shakespeare says in twenty! At the bottom of each "page" are four icons: takes you back to the previous page takes you back to the title page takes you to a "finder" - a list of all compared passages, arranged by act, scene, and line number, so that you can go to any page directly takes you back to the next page In addition to the icons, a brief line at the botttem of each page notes it page number out of 61. The passages are arranged in order of Act, Scene and Line number, so you can follow the play through in logical order. The line number references correspond to
