Abstract: In this contribution Plutarch’s views on donkeys are analysed. On the basis of his texts on the matter, it is shown that he was infl uenced by Egyptian, Jewish and Greek traditions. Having recourse to the so-called allegoresis, Plutarch’s opinion on donkeys is presented as the result of his ecletic perspective in the frame of Platonic philosophy.
