    Extractions: PLUTARCH (Gr. flXoiirapXol) (c. A.D. 46120), Greek biographer and miscellaneous writer, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia. After having been trained in philosophy at Athens he travelled and stayed some time at Rome, where he lectured on philosophy and undertook the education of Hadrian.1 Trajan ,bestowed consular rank upon him, and Hadrian appointed him procurator of Greece. He died in his native town, where he was archon and priest of the Pythian Apollo. In the Consolation to his Wife on the loss of his young daughter, he tells us (~ 2) that they had brought up four sons besides, one of whom was called by the name of Plutarchs brother, Lamprias. We learn incidentally from this treatise (~ I o) that the writer had been initiated in the secret mysteries of Dionysus, which held that the soul was imperishable. He seems to have been an independent thinker rather than an adherent of any particular school of philosophy. His vast acquaintance with the literature of his time is everywhere apparent. The celebrity of Plutarch, or at least his popularity, is mainly founded on his forty-six Parallel Lives. He is thought to have written this work in his later years after his return to Chaeronea. His knowledge of Latin and of Roman history he must have partly derived from some years residence in Rome, and other parts of Italy,i though he says he was too much engaged in lecturing (doubtless in Greek, on philosophy) to turn his attention much to Roman literature during that period.

    Extractions: PERICLES 490?-429 B.C. translated by John Dryden Introductory Note Plutarch of Chaeronea (2nd half of the first century A.D.) lived much later than the events he wrote about in this biography, but he clearly had access to many sources which no longer survive in the present day. For the most part, he was a philosopher rather than an historian, interested primarily in the characters of his subjects; the name given to a large corpus of his philosphical works, the Moralia , is a further indication of his penchant for considerations of ethics and proper behaviour. Plutarch's accuracy on historical matters is a matter of dispute among historians, but he is reasonably reliable. The translation offered here may well seem archaic at points, but this should not pose serious problems most of the time, and it is not unpleasant to read Dryden's poetic translations of the poetry cited with some frequency by Plutarch.

    Extractions: Plutarch was born during the reign of Claudius, around A.D. 45, at Chaeronea in Boeotia, a town of historic but somewhat faded importance. His family, originally from Thebes, had long enjoyed local distinction, a tradition he was to maintain in a life full of civic accomplishments. He founded a school of philosophy, served as Archon of Chaeronea, and eventually officiated as a priest of Apollo at Delphi. Only a few details of his life can be gleaned from his writings. At the time of Emperor Nero's visit to Greece in A.D. 66, Plutarch was by his own account a student of philosophy at Athens under the teacher Ammonius. As an exponent of Platonism, he vigorously attacked the positions of the Stoics and Epicureans. He was married and had at least five children. Plutarch spent some part of his career in Italy, although he describes his experiences there only in passing; for example, in a discussion about his knowledge of Latin writers in his life of Demosthenes, he says that 'having had no leisure, while I was in Rome and other parts of Italy, to exercise myself in the Roman language, on account of public business and of those who came to be instructed by me in philosophy, it was very late, and in the decline of my age, before I applied myself to the reading of Latin authors.' He traveled in Egypt as well. He was a prolific writer in a variety of genres; his surviving work (representing perhaps half of what he wrote) fills a dozen volumes. In addition to the

    Extractions: from The Extended Circle by Jon Wynne-Tyson. Direct link: amazon.co.uk Can you really ask what reason Pythagoras had for abstaining from flesh? For my part I rather wonder both by what accident and in what state of soul or mind the first man did so, touched his mouth to gore and brought his lips to the flesh of a dead creature, he who set forth tables of dead, stale bodies and ventured to call food and nourishment the parts that had a little before bellowed and cried, moved and lived. How could his eyes endure the slaughter when throats were slit and hides flayed and limbs torn from limb? How could his nose endure the stench? How was it that the pollution did not turn away his taste, which made contact with the sores of others and sucked juices and serums from mortal wounds? The obligations of law and equity reach only to mankind, but kindness and benevolence should be extended to the creatures of every species, and these will flow from the breast of a true man, is streams that issue from the living fountain.

    http://www.glbtq.com/literature/plutarch.html
    
    Extractions: Plutarch (ca 46-ca 120) No ancient is more instructive about pederasty than Plutarch. Educated in Athens by the Platonic philosopher Ammonius, Plutarch was also influenced by the Peripatetics and Stoics, but he rejected Epicureanism. 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. Plutarch's Moralia and his Parallel Lives , our main biographical source for Greek and Roman military or political leaders, take up twenty-six volumes in the Loeb Classical Library. This makes him the most published Greek author there, excelling even Aristotle's twenty-three volumes and rivaling the Roman Cicero's thirty. Plutarch's works provide crucial information about ancient sexualities. In the

    http://www.pantagruelion.com/p/s/10006.html
    
    Extractions: Biographer and author, born c. AD 46, in Chaeronea, Boeotia, died after 119 . 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. 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 traveled widely, visiting central Greece, Sparta, Corinth, Patrae (Patras), Sardis, and Alexandria, but he made his normal residence at Chaeronea, where he held the chief magistracy and other municipal posts and directed a school with a wide curriculum in which philosophy, especially ethics, occupied the central place. He maintained close links with the Academy at Athens (he possessed Athenian citizenship) and with Delphi, where, from about 95, he held a priesthood for life; he may have won Trajan's interest and support for the then-renewed vogue of the oracle. The size of Plutarch's family is uncertain. In the

    Extractions: Book: Chapter: Shakespeare admired Sir Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Lives so much that at times he came close to simply transcribing North's excellent prose. He did not always follow North, however. He changed the chronology of events or condensed them to make them more stageable. In some cases it is not clear whether Shakespeare made changes for dramatic or ideological reasons: the crowd of plebians in Shakespeare is more fickle than is reported in his sourcesa change which makes them more threatening (and thus more dramatic), but which also fits into the conservative attitude of authority to the sometimes restive Elizabethan populace.

[p.254] [Macedonians had a their own distinct calendar] [2] Alexander was only twenty years old when he inherited his kingdom, which at the moment was beset by formidable jealousies and feuds, and external dangers on every side. The neighboring barbarian tribes were eager to throw off the Macedonian yoke and longed for the rule of their native kings: As for the Greek states although Philip had defeated them in battle , he had not had time to subdue them or accustomed them to his authority. Alexander's Macedonian advisers feared that a crisis was at hand and urged the young king to leave the Greek states to their own devices and refrain from using any force against them.

    Extractions: Written around the year 100, Plutarch’s Lives have shaped perceptions of the accomplishments of the ancient Greeks and Romans for nearly two thousand years. This engaging and stimulating book introduces both general readers and students to Plutarch’s own life and work. Robert Lamberton sketches the cultural context in which Plutarch workedGreece under Roman ruleand discusses his family relationships, background, education, and political career. There are two sides to Plutarch: the most widely read source on Greek and Roman history and the educator whose philosophical and pedagogical concerns are preserved in the vast collection of essays and dialogues known as the Moralia. Lamberton analyzes these neglected writings, arguing that we must look here for Plutarch’s deepest commitment as a writer and for the heart of his accomplishment. Lamberton also explores the connection between biography and historiography and shows how Plutarch’s parallel biographies served the continuing process of cultural accommodation between Greeks and Romans in the Roman Empire. He concludes by discussing Plutarch’s influence and reputation through the ages. “An excellent book that offers real literary and historical criticism, sound scholarship, and an interesting interpretation of Plutarch’s contribution and attitude.”Frances B. Titchener, Utah State University
