Plutarch's Lives: Exploring Virtue and Vice
Duff, Tim (Lecturer in Classics, Lecturer in Classics, University of Reading)
This title demonstrates that the 'Parallel Lives of Plutarch' (c. AD 45-120) are far more than simply 'sources' for history. They aim both to inculcate in the reader the virtues of Greek philosophy and to champion the supremacy of Greek culture against a dominant Rome.
