Plutarch of Chaeronea is one of the great story-tellers of antiquity, a writer whose ability to create unforgettable scenes matches the grandeur of his subject matter. The heroes of his Lives were the great men of antiquity, often greatly flawed, but with tragic depth and epic stature.

Bookwomble The tagged book I finished today, set in a New York hotel in the 1920s, has a chapter called "The Banquet", which extracts a big chunk of Petronius's "Trimalchio's Banquet" to make a satirical comparison to the author's American contemporaries. It's neat to see your post about the Satyricon, as it's now on my Radar of Book Acquisitiveness ?

I love that my daughter (she just finished the tagged book) thought that last sentence described me well. Yep. I‘ve read that the Greeks were not kind to women. I‘d definitely be huffy.
