Plutarch From Wikinfo Jump to: navigation search Plutarch, ( ) was a Greek historian Born at Chaeronea Boeotia , in ancient Greece , during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius , Plutarch travelled widely in the Mediterranean world, later residing at Rome for an extended period and making friends with influential persons at Rome, to whom some of his later writings were dedicated. Among these were Soscius Senecio and Fundanus, important members of the Senate whom Plutarch regarded as patrons and friends. Returning to Boeotia, he was initiated into the mysteries of the pagan god Apollo . However his duties as a priest of Apollo apparently occupied little of his time - he led a most active social and civic life in addition to his numerous writings, of which about one half are still extant. His most important work is Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans , a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. The Parallel Lives , as they are also called, contain 23 pairs of biographies, each pair containing one Greek Life and one Roman Life; as well as 4 unpaired single Lives. Although Plutarch has sometimes been disparaged by later historians, he was not concerned with writing history, as such, but in exploring the influence of character - good or bad - on the lives and destinies of famous men. The remainder of his surviving oeuvre is loosely grouped together under the misleading title of Moralia . It is an eclectic collection of over one hundred essays including

By Plutarch Written 75 A.C.E. Translated by John Dryden IPHICRATES the Athenian used to say that it is best to have a mercenary soldier fond of money and of pleasures, for thus he will fight the more boldly, to procure the means to gratify his desires. But most have been of opinion, that the body of an army, as well as the natural one, when in its healthy condition, should make no efforts apart, but in compliance with its head. Wherefore they tell us that Paulus Aemilius, on taking command of the forces in Macedonia, and finding them talkative and impertinently busy, as though they were all commanders, issued out his orders that they should have only ready hands and keen swords, and leave the rest to him. And Plato, who can discern use of a good ruler or general if his men are not on their part obedient and conformable (the virtue of obeying, as of ruling, being, in his opinion, one that does not exist without first a

They were the sons of Tiberius Gracchus, who though he had been once censor, twice consul, and twice had triumphed, yet was more renowned and esteemed for his virtue than his honours. Upon this account, after the death of Scipio who overthrew Hannibal, he was thought worthy to match with his daughter Cornelia, though there had been no friendship or familiarity between Scipio and him, but rather the contrary. There is a story told that he once found in his bed-chamber a couple of snakes, and that the soothsayers, being consulted concerning the prodigy, advised that he should neither

Upon which they were both of them admired by those that were present, and applauded by the soldiers. In the senate, Otho said much in a gentle and popular strain. He was to have been consul for part of that year himself, but he gave the office to Virginius Rufus, and displaced none that had been named for the consulship by either Nero or Galba. Those that were remarkable for their age and dignity he promoted to the priesthoods; and restored the remains

34. Plutarch - New World Encyclopedia Mestrius plutarchus (c. 46 127), known in English as plutarch, (in Greek Πλούταρχος) was a Greek philosopher, biographer, and essayist. http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Plutarch

Plutarch From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Pluralism) Next (Pluto) Plutarch Mestrius Plutarchus (c. 46 - 127), known in English as Plutarch, (in Greek ) was a Greek philosopher, biographer, and essayist. He was a Middle Platonist and was known to have written a number of philosophical treatises. While a large number of semi-philosophical writings survive under the title of Memoria, his more technical philosophical treatises were all lost. Consequently, Plutarch is far better remembered for his biographical works than philosophical contributions. Among his approximately 227 works, the most important are the Bioi paralleloi (Parallel Lives) , which describes the characters and recounts the noble deeds of Greek and Roman soldiers, legislators, orators, and statesmen. The biographies, which paired Greek and Roman subjects in comparisons which were sometimes rather forced, are an important source of historical information. Plutarch’s Lives provided the material for many stories and poems during the Middle Ages , and influenced English and French literature from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries.

By Plutarch Written 75 A.C.E. Translated by John Dryden There is so much uncertainty in the accounts which historians have left us of Lycurgus, the lawgiver of Sparta, that scarcely anything is asserted by one of them which is not called into question or contradicted by the rest. Their sentiments are quite different as to the family he came of, the voyages he undertook, the place and manner of his death, but most of all when they speak of the laws he made and the commonwealth which he founded. They cannot, by any means, be brought to an agreement as to the very age in which he lived; for some of them say that he flourished in the time of Iphitus, and that they two jointly contrived the ordinance for the cessation of arms during the solemnity of the Olympic games. Of this opinion was Aristotle; and for confirmation of it, he alleges an inscription upon one

By Plutarch Written 75 A.C.E. Translated by John Dryden The birth of Themistocles was somewhat too obscure to do him honour. His father, Neocles, was not of the distinguished people of Athens, but of the township Phrearrhi, and of the tribe Leontis; and by his mother's side, as it is reported, he was base-born- "I am not of the noble Grecian race, I'm poor Abrotonon, and born in Thrace; Let the Greek women scorn me, if they please, I was the mother of Themistocles." Yet Phanias writes that the mother of Themistocles was not of Thrace, but of Caria, and that her name was not Abrotonon, but Euterpe; and Neanthes adds farther that she was of Halicarnassus in Caria. And, as illegitimate children, including those that were of half-blood or had but one parent an Athenian, had to attend at the Cynosarges (a wrestling-place outside the gates, dedicated to Hercules, who was also of half-blood amongst the

39. THE GREAT RHETRA Life of Lycurgus of Sparta as written by plutarch. http://www.csun.edu/~hcfll004/rhetra.htm

THE GREAT RHETRA Plutarch, Life of Lycurgus of Sparta So eager was Lycurgus for the establishment of this form of government, that he obtained an oracle from Delphi about it, which they call a 'rhetra'. And this is the way it runs: When thou has built a temple to Zeus Syllanius and Athena Syllania, divided the people into phylai , and divided them into 'obai', and established a Gerousia of thirty including the Archagetai, then from time to time 'appellazein' between Babyka and Knakion, and there introduce and repeal measures; but the Demos must have the decision and the power. In these clauses, the phylai and obai refer to divisions and distributions of the people into parts, some of which are named clans and others obes. By Archagetai the Kings are meant, and 'appellazein' means 'to assemble' the people, and that the beginning and cause of the constitution was the Pythian. The Babyka is now called Cheimarros, and the Knakion the Oineus; but Aristotle says that the Knakion is a river and Babyka is a bridge. Between these they held their assemblies, having neither halls nor any other kind of building for the purpose. For thus Lycurgus thought that good counsel ( eubouleia ) was not promoted, but rather discouraged, since the serious purposes of an assembly were rendered foolish and futile by vain thoughts, as they gazed upon statues, and paintings, or scenic embellishments ('proscenia of theaters'), or extravagantly decorated roofs of Bouleuteria. When the multitude was assembled thus, no one of them was permitted to make a motion, but the motion laid before them by the Gerontes and Kings could be accepted or rejected by the Demos.
