Список книг автора PlutarchRömische Fragen
Die Quaestiones Romanae Plutarchs, verfasst am Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts n. Chr., bieten in einem Wechsel von über hundert Fragen und Antworten zahlreiche ›antiquarische‹ Details zur Geschichte und Mythologie des antiken Rom. Aufgrund der eigentümlichen Anordnung dieser Römischen Fragen war man bisher der Meinung, es handle sich um einen ungeordneten Zettelkasten mit höchst wertvollen Einzelinformationen. Aufgrund seiner genauen Untersuchung des Textes kann John Scheid nun aber zeigen, dass das Büchlein äußerst raffiniert aufgebaut ist: Sein Gerüst bildet die stadtrömische Topographie: Plutarch nimmt den Leser mit auf einen virtuellen Spaziergang im Herzen Roms. Er führt den Wanderer auf bekannten Straßen und Plätzen herum und erläutert dabei mit Blick auf bewusst ausgewählte Orte und Gebäude die verschiedensten Bräuche des römischen Gemeinwesens. So erschließen sich die Quaestiones Romanae erstmals als eigenständiges, wohldurchdachtes und anspruchsvoll komponiertes Werk.

Von Liebe, Freundschaft und Feindschaft
Die philosophischen Schriften des griechischen Universalgelehrten Plutarch von Chaeronea (45-125 n. Chr.), meist unter dem Namen Moralia zusammengefasst, stellen eines der letzten großen Dokumente der Philosophie der heidnischen Antike dar. Von Platon, aber in einigen Gedanken auch von der Stoa geprägt, äußert er sich in der hier vorliegenden Textauswahl zu den Extremformen menschlicher Beziehungen. Die Schriften sind in der Reihenfolge ihrer Überlieferung abgedruckt und ergeben so eine abwechslungsreiche Mischung von Betrachtungen zu Liebe, Freundschaft und Feindschaft, jeweils mit Einleitung und Erläuterungen.

Greek and Roman Lives
Written early in the second century, Plutarch's Lives offers richly detailed and anecdotal biographies of some of the ancient world's mightiest and most influential figures. Plutarch sought to explore the characters and personalities of great men, to see how individual natures led ultimately to tragedy or victory. This selection from Plutarch's massive work profiles five Greeks and five Romans. The translation used here is by an unknown writer, but was associated with John Dryden's name because it was originally published in 1683-1686, in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by Dryden. In 1864, it was revised by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose introduction and notes are also featured. The great men profiled here include Solon, the lawmaker of Athens, who fostered the growth of the city's democratic institutions; Pericles, whose legendary eloquence was epitomized by his well-known funeral oration; and Alexander the Great, whose incredible eleven-year journey of conquest extended from his native Macedonia to Egypt and India. Among the Romans are the warrior-statesman Marius, who opposed the ruling aristocracy and opened the army to commoners; Cicero, the famous orator; and Julius Caesar, whose extensive character sketch provided Shakespeare with the material for one of his greatest plays.
