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.

評分英雄的糧食 據說有人問十七世紀古典學者西奧多加劄,假如學術典籍也麵臨一場沉船的災難,而他隻能保留一位作傢的著作,那麼他將保留誰的呢?迴答是:普魯塔剋.理由是:留下這位作者,也就留下瞭一切。 在我們能接觸到的西方偉人著作內,幾乎無一例外會提到《希臘羅馬名人...
