Title: | The function of dream-stories in Plutarch’s Lives | Authors: | Romero-González, Dámaris | Keywords: | Plutarch;dreams;ghosts;Cleonice - Pausanias;Caesar – Cinna;Gaius – Tiberius Gracchus | Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | In his Lives Plutarch relates many dreams that can be considered as oracular or symbolic dreams. Some of them have a ghost as the main character, a ghost who comes from beyond to warn the dreamers about the closeness of their death. This chapter will analyse both the function of these dreams in three lives and how they are connected to the biography of the protagonist. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/47488 | ISBN: | 978-989-26-1765-7 (PDF) 978-989-26-1763-3 |
