Rise of Rome Plutarch
The biographies collected in this volume bring together Plutarch's Lives of those great men who established the city of Rome and consolidated its supremacy, and his Comparisons with their notable Greek counterparts. As well as providing an illuminating picture of the first century AD, Plutarch depicts complex and nuanced heroes who display the essential virtues of Greek civilization - courage, patriotism, justice, intelligence and reason - that contributed to the rise of Rome. Here he pairs Romulus, mythical founder of Rome, with Theseus, who brought Athens to power, and compares the admirable Numa and Lycurgus for bringing order to their communities, while Titus Flamininus and Philopoemen are portrayed as champions of freedom.
Jeffrey Tatum and Ian Scott-Kilvert capture Plutarch's elegant prose and narrative flair. These new and revised translations by W. This edition also includes a general introduction, individual introductions to each of the Lives and Comparisons, further reading and notes.
The "Rise of Rome" is the penultimate title in "Penguin Classics" complete revised Plutarch in six volumes.Other titles include "Rome In Crisis", "On Sparta", "Fall of the Roman Republic", "The Age of Alexander" and "The Rise and Fall of Athens" (forthcoming 2014).
