Plut. Mor., Herodotus's Malice 4 — Of Herodotus’s Malice

Plut. Mor., Herodotus's Malice 4 — Of Herodotus’s Malice, Plutarch; served verbatim

Now the opposite to this is known to every one, as the omitting to relate some good and laudable action, which, though it may seem not to be reprehensible, yet is then done maliciously when the omission happens in a place that is pertinent to the history. For to praise unwillingly is so far from being more civil than to dispraise willingly, that it is perhaps rather more uncivil.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
