Bill has put online Plutarch's Life of Artaxerxes, which he finds "disjointed, anecdotic, confused, prurient" and which I find, Plutarch always being a Greek in the first place, unusually kind towards "the barbarian". In other words, it is too bad and to philobarbarous to be a real treatise by Plutarch. :wink: Still, I find it an interesting text, and this will certainly get a follow-up.
