Title: | Dancing with Plutarch: dance and dance theory in Plutarch’s Table Talk | Authors: | Jesus, Carlos A. Martins de | Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra Centro de Estudos Clássicos e Humanísticos |

Besides a large section from Book 9 (question 15), all of it concerning the parts of dance and their relation to poetry, we focus on those other moments where different rhythms of dance are discussed. Looking beyond the Plutarchan material, we search for the implications of this subject in terms of philanthropia and moderation, concepts extremely important in all nine books of the Table Talk. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/32027 | ISBN: | 978-989-26-0908-9 (PDF) | DOI: | 10.14195/978-989-8281-17-3_37 | Rights: | open access |
