Dear Class,

Here is the Google Books version of the Marrou text for this week.  It is unfortunately incomplete, but read as much as you can of it.

Use this link, and scroll down to page 229

A History of Education in Antiquity

Also, here is Plutarch’s life of Cicero

plutarchs-life-of-cicero

And Demosthenes

plutarchs-life-of-demosthenes

In your imitation of Plutarch’s biographical style for this week, be guided by his characteristic statement at the beginning of his Life of Alexander:

For it is not Histories that I am writing, but Lives; and in the most illustrious deeds there is not always a manifestation of virtue or vice, nay, a slight thing like a phrase or a jest often makes a greater revelation of character than battles when thousands fall, or the greatest armaments, or sieges of cities. Accordingly, just as painters get the likenesses in their portraits from the face and the expression of the eyes, wherein the character shows itself, but make very little account of the other parts of the body, so I must be permitted to devote myself rather to the signs of the soul in men, and by means of these to portray the life of each, leaving to others the description of their great contests.
