Description
This volume from the Ancient Library presents four essays by Plutarch, one of the best-known names in ancient literature and the author of the Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans. The essays address some of the most famous periods and figures in Greek and Roman history: the Fortune of the Romans, the Fortune or Virtue of Alexander, and whether the Athenians became more famous through war than through the arts. Plutarch describes the role of the goddess Tyche, or Fortune, competing with Arete, or Virtue, and illustrates his arguments with examples from political history and the history of art. The essays were translated into Czech for the first time by Pavel Oliva. The contents are in Czech.
