Plutarch’s Lives, Vol IX: Demetrius and Antony, Pyrrhus and Caius Marius: Greek Text
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Plutarch was a Greek historian, biographer, priest, and essayist. For nearly two millennia his writings have influenced some of the world’s greatest literary figures, including Shakespeare, Emerson, Montaigne, and others. The ethical discussions contained in Plutarch’s writings gave the American founding fathers the tools to formulate their own ideas about freedom and government. During his lifetime, his writings and lectures made him a celebrity on top of his role as priest of Apollo and mayor of the town of Chaeronea. Throughout the centuries, Plutarch has been referenced so frequently and in so many ways that some scholars estimate only a third or half of his works actually survive today. This volume contains the Greek text of the parallel biographies of Demetrius and Antony, and Pyrrhus and Caius Marius.
