According to Hermippos Solon's father had greatly reduced the family's fortune by his generosity and gift-giving and although Solon had no lack of friends willing to help him he was ashamed to accept from others the help which his family had been accustomed to give to others. Consequently while he was still young he devoted himself to trade but some say that Solon traveled as widely as he did more for the sake of experience and to acquire friends than for money-making. 2. It is certainly agreed by all that he was a lover of knowledge and as he himself wrote when he was older, Even as I grow old I am teaching myself 3. He was not fascinated by wealth and wrote that equally rich are . the man who has much silver. and gold and fields of grain-bearing land,. horses and mules, and the man who has only those. things kind to stomach, sides and feet. and when these are come, then a boy's or a woman's. youth.

    Extractions: 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.

    http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/L046.html
    
    Extractions: Translated by Bernadotte Perrin Most popular of Plutarch's writings 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). The irresistably humane Lives give not merely a record of careers and illustrious deeds but rounded portraits of statesmen, orators, and military leaders. For, Plutarch says: "It is not Histories I am writing, but Lives"; the virtues (or vices) and character of his subjects is what he seeks "and by means of these to portray the life of each." Education is the primary subject in Volume I of Plutarch's Moralia . The first piece, "The Education of Children," is probably not actually by Plutarch; but it is of great interest in reflecting education in the first century. This essay and the one that follows, "How the Young Man Should Study Poetry," dispense much advice for parents about proper upbringng and training of the young. "On Listening to Lectures" is aimed at the student who has moved on to more serious study, with cautionary advice for the diffident, the contemptuous, the overconfident, and the overly enthusiastic student. This volume also contains "How To Tell a Flatterer from a Friend" and "Progress in Virtue." Here as throughout the Moralia Plutarch delivers his wisdom in an engaging manner, illustrating his points with concrete stories about individuals.

    Extractions: He was an honorary citizen of Athens and was also a priest in Delphi and what we today would call a civil servant, and was considered a brilliant guide, teacher and philosopher by many of his time. He made two visits to Rome, where he held popular speeches. He highly disagreed with the lifestyles of the Romans, and returned to his home village. From Plutarch we know many anecdotes about Alcibiades, the story of Isis and Osiris, Pythagoras family life and society, Lycurgos, Themistocles, Pausanias, Demosthenes, Diogenes, Alexander et.c. Plutarchs Syngrammata Ethica, or in Latin, Moralia, Morals, included advice for married couples, how to distinguish true friends and bring up children, how to restrain anger et.c

    Extractions: d. 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 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 Consolatio to his wife, Timoxena, on the death of their infant daughter, he mentions four sons; of these at least two survived childhood, and he may have had other children.

Neither is it true, as some give out, that because the Argives, after their great defeat, shaved themselves for sorrow, that the Spartans contrariwise triumphing in their achievements, suffered their hair to grow; neither did the Spartans come to be ambitious of wearing long hair, because the Bacchiadae, who fled from Corinth to Lacedaemon, looked mean and unsightly, having their heads all close cut. But this, also, is indeed one of the ordinances of Lycurgus, who, as it is reported, was used to say, that long hair made good-looking men more beautiful, and ill-looking men more terrible.

    Extractions: "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...." Plutarch, "Life of Demetrius the Besieger" chapter 2:

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.

    Extractions: 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.
