The Loeb Classical Library: Moralia, VII : On Love of Wealth. On Compliancy. On Envy and Hate. On Praising Oneself Inoffensively. On the Delays of the Divine Vengeance. On Fate. On the Sign of Socrates. On Exile. Consolation toPlutarch (Plutarchus), ca. AD 45120, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular

Όμως ακόμα και μετά την κηδεία ο θάνατος δεν έχει τελειώσει

yet he never treated it in a complete work

and the other surviving plays are viewed against the background of the four-play productions of which they formed part

πίσω από αυτόν τον γάμο

These cover Caesar's expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC

The commentary guides the reader through problems of language

the tone is only occasionally aggressive

Από τον ιδρώτα

and North Africa

The commentary gives full weight to the dense texture of these poems while helping readers interpret their most cryptic aspects and appreciate their technical finesse

All four poems promote the value of human life and the need to accept our lives without worshipping the false gods of money

Και για πρώτη φορά ο Χαρίτος μακριά από την Αθήνα
