Title: | Mirroring virtue in Plutarch’s lives by Philip Stadter | Authors: | Stadter, Philiip | Issue Date: | 2003 | Publisher: | International Plutarch Society | Abstract: | The paper presents three points about Plutarch’s pedagogy of mirroring virtue (cf. Aem. 1): 1) The Parallel Lives expect the reader to learn from weaknesses as well as strengths (cf. De coh. ira); 2) Plutarch expects his readers to distinguish what is admirable and what is not in a Life (e.g., in Sulla); 3) paralleling Greek and Roman lives heightens the mirroring effect. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/37577 | ISSN: | 0258-655X | DOI: | 10.14195/0258-655X_1_7 | Rights: | open access |
