Synopsis
Plutarch's vivid and engaging portraits of the Spartans and their customs are a major source of our knowledge about the rise and fall of this remarkable Greek city-state between the sixth and third centuries BC. Through his Lives of Sparta's leaders and his recording of memorable Spartan Sayings he depicts a people who lived frugally and mastered their emotions in all aspects of life, who also disposed of unhealthy babies in a deep chasm, introduced a gruelling regime of military training for boys, and treated their serfs brutally. Rich in anecdote and detail, Plutarch's writing brings to life the personalities and achievements of Sparta with unparalleled flair and humanity.

À propos de l?auteur
Plutarch's life spanned the second half of the 1st century AD. He was highly educated in rhetoric and philosophy at Athens but his deep interest in religion led him to Delphi, where he was eventually appointed a priesthood. He travelled, most crucially to Rome, where he lectured and made friends of considerable influence. He wrote and taught throughout his life.
Richard J. A. Talbert, the translator and editor, is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Christopher Pelling, the Plutarch series adviser, is Professor of Classics at Oxford University and a fellow of Christ Church.

Paperback. Etat : As New. On Sparta (2005) by Plutarch ? Penguin Classics Edition Sold by Crappy Old Books ? because new books are cowards. Dive into the dusty glory of Sparta with Plutarch?s On Sparta , a no-nonsense collection of ancient biographies, sayings, and stories that celebrate the laconic, brutal, and weirdly admirable world of the Spartans. This Penguin Classics edition gives you Plutarch?s take on kings, warriors, and oddballs who thought cloaks were optional and luxury was a moral failing. Includes introductions, notes, and all the scholarly bits to make you feel smart while reading about people who would?ve laughed at your sandals. This copy may be a little dog-eared, but so were the Spartans?and they still won battles. Perfect for fans of history, philosophy, or just really intense gym motivation. Used. Slightly foxed. Smells like wisdom (and maybe someone?s attic). As new. N° de réf. du vendeur 3948
