The Fall of the Roman Republic

The Fall of the Roman Republic | Plutarch

"However, I should have to write another essay altogether to determine the point whether this is a real change and revolution in a man's nature, brought about by fortune, or whether it is rather the case that when a man is in power the evil that has been latent in him reveals itself openly."
-Plutarch, "Fall of the Roman Republic"

I don't have the tagged book, but I do have others by Plutarch. Now I'm curious about his thoughts on women. Added a Robert Harris book for Roman reference 😜

CrowCAH Love the tissues in the pic; nice touch! (Sorry I couldn‘t leave the video of the song, from the play; updated to the new iOS and typing in Litsy is like writing in the dark. And I can‘t paste, otherwise there would be a link.) 7y

drokka @CrowCAH No worries about the video, I was able to find one on YouTube. A little horrified by the lyrics (clearly times have changed lol) but there was loads to work with 😁 7y

Andrea4 You should read Plutarch's Advice to the Bride and Groom- a letter so it's short. I think a lot of efitions have that paired with a letter to his wife, A Consolation to his Wife. You'll have a laugh and then be moved. 7y

drokka @Andrea4 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look for those. 7y
