Quote: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 philobarbaros to be a real treatise by Plutarch. :wink: Still, I find it an interesting text, and this will certainly get a follow-up.And here is the follow-up: my own version of the text, with many hyperlinks.
Bill continues what appears to be an attempt to have all Plutarch's biographies online before April 30: here are the Lycurgus and the Comparison of Lycurgus and Numa.
