Plutarch
Ethics -- Greece; Ethics -- History; Stoics
_Platonicae quaestiones_, (Platonic questions).
_De animae procreatione in Timaeo_, (On the origin of the soul in
the Timaeus).
_Epitome libri de animae procreatione in Timaeo_, (Abstract of the
book on the origin of the soul in the Timaeus).
_De Stoicorum repugnantiis_, (On contradictions of the Stoics).
_Compendium libri cui argumentum fuit, Stoicos absurdiora poetis
dicere_, (Synopsis of the book the argument of which was, The Stoics
utter greater absurdities than the poets).
_De communibus notitiis adversus Stoicos_, (Concerning the common

_Non posse suaviter vivi secundum Epicurum_, (That it is not
possible to live pleasurably according to Epicurus).
_Adversus Coloten_, (Against Colotes).

VOLUME VII.
_De fluviorum et montium nominibus et de iis quæ in illis
inveniuntur_, (On the names of rivers and mountains and those things
that are found in them).
_De vita et poesi Homeri, Lib. I et II_, (On the life and poetry of
Homer).
The two treatises last named fill more than one-third of the volume, the
remainder being chiefly taken up with fragments, some of them only a few
lines in length. It also contains the so-called catalogue of Lamprias
which, including the Parallel lives, assigns 227 different works to
Plutarch. Volume seven concludes with an index of names. As these
treatises are usually cited by their Latin titles, they only are given
above. A complete edition of Plutarch’s Morals, with an introduction by
R. W. Emerson was published in Boston about twenty-five years ago, under
the editorial supervision of Professor Goodwin of Harvard University.
The translations were made by a number of English scholars near the
close of the seventeenth century. In their revised form they are in the
main correct and some of them are vigorous and readable.
