Publisher Synopsis
"This edition by Richard Hunter and Donald Russell of Plutarch's major treatise on education and literature represents the Cambridge "Green and Yellow" commentaries at their best. It provides a wealth of information on sources, parallels, style, and the structure of the argument, yet does not neglect the needs of the mid-level student of Greek, helpfully explaining abstruse words and difficult expressions. ...Hunter and Russell have produced a major work of scholarship, invaluable for understanding ancient ideas of literature and its function. It belongs in the library of anyone interested in how the ancients read." --Classical World Read more...
