Volume I. Moralia The Education of Children. How the Young Man Should Study Poetry. On Listening to Lectures. How to Tell a Flatterer form a Friend. How a Man May Become Aware of His Progress in Virtue This miscellany of essays makes Plutarch the Montaigne or Hazlitt of antiquity. He is best known for his Lives, a series of parallel biographies of heroic exemplification describing the great men of Greece and Rome. But the Moralia are as rich, and even more diverse, containing much to instruct and entertain. Written in Greek during the course of Plutarch's life--he flourished about 100 A.D.--they had an enormous influence on western culture until a century or two ago. Some are classics in every sense of the word...This is agreeable and civilised stuff, refreshingly contemporaneous despite having been matured for two thousand years in the casks of literature. Series No. 197 / 506 pages / ISBN 0-674-99217-2 |

Volume III. Moralia Sayings of Kings and Commanders. Sayings of Romans. Sayings of Spartans. The Ancient Customs of the Spartans. Sayings of Spartan Women. Bravery of Women Plutarch was an admirer of traditional Spartan virtues; this is reflected in Volume III of the Moralia, which includes the essay "Ancient Customs of the Spartans" and "Sayings of Spartans" as well as "Sayings of Spartan Women." The last records statements about the role of women as mothers and expressions of Spartan values--these are women reproducing the values of their culture. Among the other three essays here is "Bravery of Women," a selection of anecdotes recounting the actions of brave women; Plutarch calls it a supplement to a conversation on the equality of the sexes. Plutarch's fluent and genial style make his Moralia a pleasure to read. Series No. 245 / 612 pages / ISBN 0-674-99270-9 |

Volume V. Moralia Isis and Osiris. The E at Delphi. The Oracles at Delphi No Longer Given in Verse. The Obsolescence of Oracles Volume Five of Plutarch's Moralia collects four essays concerning religious matters. "Isis and Osiris" reports on Egyptian religious beliefsÑ-and then goes on to discuss proper approaches to the subject of religion. In two essays Plutarch, who was a priest at Delphi, explores questions about that oracle's site and the customs there. The fourth looks at oracles in general, and is of particular interest as an effort to reconcile science and religion. Series No. 306 / 528 pages / ISBN 0-674-99337-3 |
