Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. 45-120 CE, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular 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), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch's many other varied extant works, about 60 in number, are known as "Moralia" or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics and religion. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the "Moralia" is in fifteen volumes, volume XIII having two parts.
读了On the Malice of Herodotus。Plutarch的核心论点其实就是,Herodotus老是对Thebes,Sparta还有许多雅典之外的希腊城邦说些harsh words,他是故意的,他在说谎……不过有一些值得注意的地方,一个是关于motive和action的匹配的问题,很多地方针对的就是worthy motive和unworthy action的不匹配或者反过来,另一个就是用很多诗歌和神庙的votive来反驳Herodotus的书写,最后把他说成一个说谎的诗人,而不是可靠的historian,但是就论证系统性来说,感觉不能和Dionysius比……

评分De Herodoti Malignitate,Plutarch主要指责Herodotus太mean,对人性黑暗面揣测太过,喜欢用一些看上去很mild和sincere的话术暗中把本没有那么坏的人刻画得罪大恶极+给好人好事扣动机不纯的帽子,还采信同一subject不同史料里最不受认可的那一种。之前读过他写色雷斯人和古埃及人风俗习惯的篇章,能看出一些Plutarch愤怒的来源。
