Présentation Since You're Mortal . . . de James Romm Format Relié
- Livre
Résumé : The truly happy man ought to stay at home. Hunger, and lack of coin, put a stop to love. Hades, alone of the gods, does not enjoy bribes. These quotes-and hundreds of others from the great Greek dramatists, including Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Menander-were preserved in the fifth century AD, when a man named Stobaeus compiled an anthology to inspire and instruct his son. The quotes were pithy packets of wisdom expressed in eloquent verse and selected with a father's discerning eye: some prompt aha moments, others offer wit or dark humor, still others give moral insight. In Since You're Mortal . . ., James Romm is the first to translate fragments saved by Stobaeus as poetry for modern English-language readers. Vividly rendered and beautifully presented, this volume serves as an ages-old but timeless guide to living a thoughtful, virtuous life.
