Plut. Mor., Greek and Roman Parallels 0 — Parallels, or a comparison between the Greek and Roman Histories, Plutarch; served verbatim

Most people are apt to take the histories of former times for mere forgeries and fables, because of many passages in those relations that seem to be very extravagant. But yet, according to my observation, we have had as strange occurrences of a later date in the Roman times as any we have received from antiquity; for proof whereof, I have here matched several stories of the ancients with modern instances, and cited my authorities.

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