Excerpt from Peri Deisidaimonias: Plutarchus and Theophrastus on Superstition; With Various Appendices and a Life of Plutarchus About the 5th. of March last year, I published a reprint of the text of the. Orphica. In the preface to that "Typographical Experiment" I said (p. vi & vii): "I am preparing an edition of Plutarch's treatise on Superstition, in Greek and English, which will serve to occupy my compositor, 'till I can ascertain from the sale of the present volume, whether it is worth my while to continue printing." This I said, writing on the 9th. Jan. 1827. The fate of my "Experiment" was soon decided. Very few booksellers condescended to let a copy of the unfortunate production remain in their shops on sale or return. Some said, they did not deal in Greek books; some that they did not deal in new books; and one even said, that the book was too thin and might be lost. When I received this disastrous information I would willingly have renounced printing altogether; but two or three half sheets of the Plutarchus were already worked off; nay, supposing that a book with an English translation might he more sought after than a work entirely Greek, I had been guilty of the folly of having each time 300 copies taken, and all too on fine paper. But I had still a hope. I had sent copies of the Orphica to two or three of the Newspapers and to most of the principal Reviews.

Plutarch S Cities written by Lucia Athanassaki and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Plutarch's Cities is the first comprehensive attempt to assess the significance of the polis in Plutarch's works from several perspectives, namely the polis as a physical entity, a lived experience, and a source of inspiration, the polis as a historical and sociopolitical unit, the polis as a theoretical construct and paradigm to think with. The book's multifocal and multi-perspectival examination of Plutarch's cities - past and present, real and ideal-yields some remarkable corrections of his conventional image. Plutarch was neither an antiquarian nor a philosopher of the desk. He was not oblivious to his surroundings but had a keen interest in painting, sculpture, monuments, and inscriptions, about which he acquired impressive knowledge in order to help him understand and reconstruct the past. Cult and ritual proved equally fertile for Plutarch's visual imagination. Whereas historiography was the backbone of his reconstruction of the past and evaluation of the present, material culture, cult, and ritual were also sources of inspiration to enliven past and present alike. Plato's descriptions of Athenian houses and the Attic landscape were also a source of inspiration, but Plutarch clearly did his own research, based on autopsy and on oral and written sources. Plutarch, Plato's disciple and Apollo's priest, was on balance a pragmatist. He did not resist the temptation to contemplate the ideal city, but he wrote much more about real cities, as he experienced or imagined them.

Originating from a study of the people's attitude in the first thirty years of the nineteenth century toward the classics, English Translations from the Greek by Finley Melville Kendall Foster lists the significant translations published during those years. In order to have the necessary material for a close study of the original list, extensive research was conducted for around fifty years. The result of these discoveries is embodied in the list of translations that make up this book's contents. Foster hopes to educate people about and make them familiar with the various kinds of Greek literature that have been popular at different times during the last four hundred and thirty years. He has in no way attempted to discuss the standards or the benchmarks of a good translation, the reason being that the making of an English version of a Greek original presents difficulties little distinct from those of translation from any other language into English.
