Birthplace: Chaeroneia, Boetia, Greece Died: c. 120 AD Best Known As: Author of Plutarch's Lives Plutarch is the most famous biographer of the ancient world and the author of a famous collection now known as Plutarch's Lives . Plutarch's original title was Parallel Lives of Famous Greeks and Romans , and that describes his unique approach: the biographies are presented in pairs, the life of one Greek contrasted with that of a similar Roman. Plutarch's subjects were statesmen, generals and public figures including Alexander the Great , Solon, Pyrrhus and Marc Antony , and together the biographies present a basic history of all Greece and Rome up to Plutarch's times. Hence Plutarch has been a favorite of scholars and schoolteachers for centuries. Plutarch's other famous work is the Morals , a collection of essays on topics ranging from religion and zoology to marriage.

PLUTARCH (circa 45-125 A.D.) G reece , by the turn of the 1st 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 the 78 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 The study and judgment of lives was always of paramount importance for Plutarch. In the Moralia, Plutarch expresses a belief in

ON THE APPARENT FACE IN THE ORB OF THE MOON. Plutarch I. Then said Sylla, “These things belong to my story, and form part of it: but if you come at all into collision with these popular notions, that are in everybody’s mouth, about the Face in the Moon, I think I should be glad to learn it.” “Why should we not,” I replied, “driven back as we are by the difficulty in the first case, to the latter subject—just as people in lingering diseases, when they have lost all hope in the common remedies, and usual courses of diet, fly for refuge to purifications, spells, and dreams: in the same way it is a matter of compulsion in obscure and insoluble problems, when common, accredited, and customary arguments fail to convince, to make trial of others more out of the way, and not despise them; but to chant, as it were, over ourselves some old-fashioned charm, and hunt out the truth in all quarters. II. “For you see at once how absurd is the explanation that the apparent figure in the moon is merely an affection of the sight, which is dazzled by the brightness, by reason of its own weakness; a thing we call. . . it takes no notice that this effect should rather take place in regard to the Sun, which strikes upon the eye both sharp and forcibly; whence Empedocles hath described the difference between the two, not inelegantly, “‘The shrill-voiced sun, the softly whispering moon,’

Sign up for the free Shakespeare Newsletter SOURCES FOR ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA The main source that Shakespeare relied upon while writing Antony and Cleopatra was Plutarch's Lives , which was translated by Thomas North in 1579. Shakespeare ignored many of the historical events reported in the Lives , so that he could concentrate on the relationship between Antony and Cleopatra. Plutarch spends much time elaborating on Cleopatra's charms and, while Shakespeare does make a few changes to create a more fast-paced and exciting story, he follows Plutarch's text very closely in this regard. Compare the following excerpt from Plutarch with Enobarbus' description of Cleopatra and her pavilion: Note: this particular translation of Plutarch was written by the master wordsmith, John Dryden. North's translation is not as flowery, but North's translation reports exactly the same scenario as we see here: Compare also Enobarbus' description of the feast Antony held for Ceopatra with Plutarch's text (again Dryden's translation) : Moreover, in the

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 eBooks Plutarch Plutarch eBooks Plutarch eBooks Plutarch - Now Available! 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

In Solon's poems, too, we can find evidence of the fact that he could not resist good looks and did not challenge love To meet him like a boxer in the ring. He also proposed a law which forbade slaves to rub themselves dry with oil, to practice in the gymnasium or to have a boy lover, so that his intention was evidently to class this as an honourable and dignified practice and thus, in a sense, to recommend it to reputable men by the act of forbidding it to the unworthy. Pisistratus, too, is said to have had a boy lover named Charmus and to have dedicated the statue of Love in the Academy, where the runners in the sacred torch race light their torches. 2. Solon's father, according to Hermippus, dissipated a great deal of his estate in various acts of charity, but there was no lack of friends who would have been ready to help his son. Solon, however, coming as he did of a family which had always been accustomed to give help to others, was ashamed to accept any for himself, and so while he was still a young man, he ventured into commerce. On the other hand we are also told that he travelled to gain experience and to extend his knowledge rather than to make money. There is no doubt that he was a lover of knowledge, for even when he was far advanced in years he could still say
