Loeb Classical Library 47
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.
只读了Camillus。
评分这一卷里面Lucullus的情况实际上很像Cato,无非一个侧重国内政治事务的活动,另一个强调在外面怎么打仗的。但问题相似之处就是,两个人都清楚什么是更值得追求的,什么事该做的,但在和普通民众相处着一块上,两个人做的其实都算不上好,而且是相当的失败。最后都被他们自身和民众之间的tension活活压死。后半部分也挺有意思,Lucullus虽然奢靡,这个是要批判一番,但和Marius等人无穷无尽地渴望打仗,渴望借打仗捞钱相比,那简直是好不知道哪里去了。或者说是不是就是因为看到这种张力,包括后面按这些人胡作非为才选择退隐的?他自己的选择也是一个很有意思的问题。
评分只读了Camillus。
评分很难,间接反映了希腊语的摇曳多姿……雅典、罗马市民背井离乡的特写,加图暗度温泉关,卢库鲁斯的失势,et cetera。
评分只读了Camillus。
