Synopsis

This book does justice to Plutarch himself, so sensitive to the fine arts in his descriptions and reflections, and also opens up new perspectives for future philologists. Iconographic approaches to Plutarch's work in the style presented here fill with hope those of us who are committed to sowing the seeds of classical culture in a society as needy of it as that of our Alexandrian bourgeoisie in the 21st century. I can assure you that Luisa, Paulo and Nuno have been able to transmit that illusion to us.
