Go to Home Page for 15 Greek Heroes from Plutarch's Lives As geographers add notes in the margins of their maps, to the effect that regions beyond are dangerous and barren , I might say as well regarding those records available of lives from a past which is more distant than reliable history: only fiction and legends can be found there. Perhaps the purifying process of reason may reduce the following legends into an exact history. However, should they offend by refusing to be reduced to anything like probable fact, I hope that candid readers will indulge these stories of ancient times. Aegeus, the king of Athens, wanted a son to be heir to his kingdom. He went to the oracle at Delphi to ask advice on this matter. The statement of the oracle seemed to indicate that Aegeus should

Archimedes (287?-212 BC ) planning the defenses of Syracuse A t the beginning of the third century BC , the Mediterranean basin was controlled by the Carthaginians in the west and the Greeks in the east. The Romans controlled only a small area around Rome, but were poised to march. They locked horns with Carthage in the First Punic War (264-241 BC ), during which they greatly expanded their territory, although they did not capture the city of Carthage itself. The Greek city of Syracuse, where Archimedes lived, initially supported Carthage. But early in the war Rome forced a treaty of alliance from Syracuse's king, Hiero II , that called for Syracuse to pay tribute and provide grain to the Romans. T he Romans and Carthaginians renewed their antagonisms in 218 BC , the beginning of the Second Punic War. Under Hannibal, Carthage gained the first round of victories, culminating in Hannibal's crossing of the Alps into Italy (218 BC ) and his defeat of the Romans at Cannae (216 BC ). Hannibal's successes in Italy helped convince many Syracusans that they were allied with the wrong side.

Pompey (legendary, died 48 B.C.E.) By Plutarch Written 75 A.C.E. Translated by John Dryden The people of Rome seem to have entertained for Pompey from his childhood the same affection that Prometheus, in the tragedy of Aeschylus, expresses for Hercules, speaking of him as the author of his deliverance, in these words:- "Ah cruel Sire! how dear thy son to me! The generous offspring of my enemy!" For on the one hand, never did the Romans give such demonstrations of a vehement and fierce hatred against any of their generals as they did against Strabo, the father of Pompey; during whose lifetime, it is true, they stood in awe of his military power, as indeed he was a formidable warrior, but immediately upon his death, which happened by a stroke of thunder, they treated him with the utmost

Marcus Brutus (legendary, died 42 B.C.E.) By Plutarch Written 75 A.C.E. Translated by John Dryden Marcus Brutus was descended from that Junius Brutus to whom the ancient Romans erected a statue of brass in the capitol among the images of their kings with a drawn sword in his hand, in remembrance of his courage and resolution in expelling the Tarquins and destroying the monarchy. But that ancient Brutus was of a severe and inflexible nature, like steel of too hard a temper, and having never had his character softened by study and thought, he let himself be so far transported with his rage and hatred against tyrants that, for conspiring with them, he proceeded to the execution even of his own sons. But this Brutus, whose life we now write, having

The Total Solar Eclipse Described by Plutarch
F.R. Stephenson and L.J. Fatoohi (Department of Physics, University of Durham)
Introduction
In his dialogue On the face on the moon , the Greek biographer, historian and philosopher, Plutarch (ca. A.D. 45-120), gives a vivid description of a major eclipse of the sun. On the not unreasonable assumption that this description refers to a real historical observation of an eclipse which was fully total, there have been several attempts to date the event by astronomical calculation: notably those by Ginzel , Fotheringham and Sandbach . Dates that have been proposed range from A.D. 71 to 83, all in the early part of Plutarch's life. The Loeb editors give a useful survey of the debate. Several decades have now elapsed since the dating of the eclipse was last considered in detail. Recent studies of earth's past rotation enable the exact dates and fairly precise local circumstances (e.g. magnitudes and local times) for all eclipses in a selected period and at a given place to be computed. In the light of this new research, it seems appropriate to reconsider the eclipse which Plutarch mentions in the De facie . It will here be argued that the eclipse of March 20, 71, is by far the most likely of the various possibilities and is indeed virtually certain; the investigation should also put the exact nature of the eclipse beyond doubt, vindicate Plutarch's description as (by classical standards) an extremely accurate observation rather than a mere literary construction, and (hence) provide us with a fixed point (one of the very few fixed points) of Plutarch's own biography.

http://www.dur.ac.uk/Classics/histos/1997/braund.html
Plutarch's Pyrrhus and Euripides' Phoenician Women : Biography and Tragedy on Pleonectic Parenting
David Braund (University of Exeter)
The principal concern of this paper is to explore the relevance of Euripides' Phoenician Women to Plutarch's Life of Pyrrhus. It will be argued that the relevance of the play is much more substantial than usually acknowledged: that its relevance goes beyond the two direct quotations from the play which occur in the Life . It is worth stressing at the outset that of the five quotations from the play in Plutarch's extant Lives as a whole, two are in the Pyrrhus : that may plausibly be claimed as a concentration ( Pyrrh. 9 and 14; cf. Demetr Sull Comp. Nic.-Crass . 4). In what follows, I shall attempt to explain how and why the play matters to a reading of the Life . The essence of my claim is that the reader's knowledge of Euripides' play is made to provide what may be termed "added value" to Plutarch's Life , with the further validation of Euripidean authority. The general relevance to Plutarch's Lives of Athenian tragedy (and indeed of Homeric epic) has long been recognised. And Judith Mossman has explored tragic and epic elements in the

Alexander in Egypt , Plutarch This is attested by many credible authors, and if what those of Alexandria tell us, relying upon the authority of Heraclides, be true, Homer was neither an idle nor an unprofitable companion to him in his expedition. For when he was master of Egypt, designing to settle a colony of Grecians there, he resolved to build a large and populous city, and give it his own name. In order to which, after he had measured and staked out the ground with the advice of the best architects, he chanced one night in his sleep to see a wonderful vision; a grey-headed old man, of a venerable aspect, appeared to stand by him, and pronounce these verses:- "An island lies, where loud the billows roar, Pharos they call it, on the Egyptian shore."
