Plutarch's Lives, written at the beginning of the second century A.D., is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory. Richly anecdotal and full of detail, Volume I contains profiles and comparisons of Romulus and Theseus, Numa and Lycurgus, Fabius and Pericles, and many more powerful figures of ancient Greece and Rome.
The present translation, originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.

評分本来对席代岳的翻译充满了期待。刚才因讲课需要,对照商务版看第五章“梭伦”,就发现席代岳的翻译有很多常识性错误。比如该章的第(3)段出现的第2首诗,席代岳竟把希腊神“宙斯”神译作罗马神“朱庇特”(可能是德莱顿英译本就译错了)。 还有就是有严重的漏译之...
