While perhaps best known for his Lives, Plutarch also wrote philosophical dialogues that constitute a major intellectual legacy from the first century A. D. This collection presents two important short works from his writings in moral philosophy. They reveal Plutarch at his best-informative, sympathetic, rich in narrative-and are accompanied by an extensive commentary that situates Plutarch and his views on marriage in their historical context. | Plutarch's Advice to the Bride and Groom and A Consolation to His Wife, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
