Plutarch's Lives, written at the beginning of the second century A.D., is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory. Richly anecdotal and full of detail, Volume I contains profiles and comparisons of Romulus and Theseus, Numa and Lycurgus, Fabius and Pericles, and many more powerful figures of ancient Greece and Rome.
The present translation, originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.

評分本來對席代嶽的翻譯充滿瞭期待。剛纔因講課需要,對照商務版看第五章“梭倫”,就發現席代嶽的翻譯有很多常識性錯誤。比如該章的第(3)段齣現的第2首詩,席代嶽竟把希臘神“宙斯”神譯作羅馬神“硃庇特”(可能是德萊頓英譯本就譯錯瞭)。 還有就是有嚴重的漏譯之...
