This review is from: Plutarch: Moralia, Volume IV, Roman Questions. Greek Questions. Greek and Roman Parallel Stories. On the Fortune of the Romans. On the Fortune or the ... in Wisdom? (Loeb Classical Library No. 305) (Hardcover)
I originally purchased volume I to brush up on my meager Greek but discoved that my Greek, even with a parallel translation in English was no longer viable without a lot of associated study. Having the book in the house and near my nightstand proved a godsend. The English translation puts me to sleep quickly and the small size of the volume doesn't wake me up again when it falls either on the floor, bed or body. I am now up to volume IV and soon to purchase volume V of the complete set of XVI.
This book does have some value regarding its contents. A previous knowledge of the Classical world is a help for understanding but the notes go a long way in clearing up any confusion, assuming that you are able to read such fine print before going to bed. Safer than sleeping pills. |
