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.
