In the study of Patristics we come across St Olympias the Deaconess, friend of St John Chrysostom. Fr Joseph shines a light on this fascinating friendship that came at a high price to Olympias. Fr Joseph Hamilton is the Rector of the Domus Australia in Rome, and a priest of the Archdiocese of Sydney Australia. Prior to his appointment at Domus, he served as private secretary to George Cardinal Pell, until the Cardinal's untimely death. Fr Joseph completed his doctoral studies in Patristics at Christ Church, University of Oxford, and his license at the Patristic Institute “Augustinianum” in Rome. Prior to entering seminary he worked as an investment banker. Having left the economy of Mammon for that of Salvation, he studied at the Pontifical North American College. A native of Ireland, he is a keen but mediocre (his words) surfer, and enjoys reading and cooking.
Tim reacts to more silly internet bullsh*t that Producer Alex put together, he talks about how obsessive he was with his iTunes library, the number one song he plays on repeat if current workout playlist is stale, Conor McGregor ruining his legacy, CBUM's retirement speech after winning 6 Olympias in a row, and his opinion on the Mike Van Wyck vs Jeff Nippard beef.Thanks for listening and being a part of the Stay Peaked community!

1/8: The Missing Thread: A Women's History of the Ancient World Hardcover - by Daisy Dunn (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Missing-Thread-Womens-History-Ancient/dp/0593299663 Around four thousand years ago, the mysterious Minoans sculpted statues of topless women with snakes slithering on their arms. Over one thousand years later, Sappho wrote great poems of longing and desire. For classicist Daisy Dunn, these women—whether they were simply sitting at their looms at home or participating in the highest echelons of power—were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. Together, these women helped to make antiquity as we know it. In this monumental work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. The Missing Thread never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. 79 AD Pompeii women of Rome

Alexander the Great conquered much of the known-to-him world in lightning speed. But he probably couldn't have done it without the support of his mother, Olympias, who served as queen, regent, and many other roles. Her name was dragged through the mud by ancient writers who struggled with the idea of a powerful woman. That means it is hard to sort out the truth from the slander, but this is an attempt to do so.

Twenty years ago, Two-time Oscar winner Oliver Stone (Platoon, JFK, Wall Street) finally had the opportunity to direct the grand-scale historical epic which he and several of his directing peers (Scorsese, Kubrick) had been trying to helm for decades.....the story of Alexander the Great who once lead a MASSIVE Macedonian Empire which at one point comprised around half of the land mass in the Eastern Hemisphere during ancient times. He lived one hell of a life conquering much of the ancient world and here he is played by Colin Farrell (In Bruges, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Penguin) whose casting DID raise some eyebrows at the time of release....especially given that he portrayed this character with his heavy Irish accent. And beyond that, Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie (Girl Interrupted, Salt, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) was cast as his mother Olympias....even though she was only one year older than Farrell at the time. Beyond that, the stellar cast also includes Val Kilmer, Rosario Dawson, Anthony Hopkins, and the late, great Christopher Plummer among several others. Also co-written by Oliver Stone, this would also be THE last big budget film he would helm as the $150 million production was not only a commercial flop but also destroyed by critics at the time of release.And yet....a few years later, Stone was able to release his own extended "Director's Cut" on DVD (and eventually Blu-Ray) which is considered by many (himself included) to be a far superior version of this story as it includes 40 additional minutes of footage including some extended action sequences. So in reviewing THAT version of this film, let's find out if Alexander DID in fact live up to his title. ;) Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Olympias hielt sich Schlangen, mischte in politischen Machtkämpfen mit und stachelte ihren Sohn, Alexander den Großen, zu einer ehrgeizigen Karriere an. Die Chronisten verewigten sie als machthungrige und eiskalte Intrigantin - aber unterscheidet sie sich wirklich so sehr von ihren männlichen Zeitgenossen?

Many pepole know Alexander the Great. After all, he conquered most of the known world before the age of twenty-five and was considered a military genius, but few know about his little sister, who contributed to his success. Cleo grew up in a chaotic household with two parents constantly at each other's throats and living in the shadow of her golden child brother. However, when she married into the royal family of Epirus, she was able to exercise her own authority as regent for her husband and son, and she would later work with her mother to keep the peace in Greece while her brother expanded his rule across Asia where he would not have been able to do without her support. Join me in this episode to learn the story of the little sister who supported the Macedonian empire. This Podcast is sponsored by Common Era Jewellery. Use code: AYDEN for 15% off your entire order.

Around four thousand years ago, the mysterious Minoans sculpted statues of topless women with snakes slithering on their arms. Over one thousand years later, Sappho wrote great poems of longing and desire. For classicist Daisy Dunn, these women--whether they were simply sitting at their looms at home or participating in the highest echelons of power--were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. Together, these women helped to make antiquity as we know it. In this monumental work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. The Missing Thread: How Women Shaped the Course of Ancient History (Viking, 2024) never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. Learn more about your ad choices.

She was born to a noble family in Constantinople: her father Anysius Secundus was a senator. She was betrothed to a nobleman who died before they could be wed; resisting all advice to take another husband, Olympias devoted herself entirely to God, giving her large inheritance to the Church and to the poor. She served as a deaconess, first under the Patriarch Nektarios, then under St John Chrysostom. When St John was sent into exile, he advised her to remain in Constantinople, and to continue to serve the Church whatever patriarch took his place. But as soon as the holy hierarch went into exile, a fire destroyed a large part of the City, and St John's enemies accused the holy Olympias of setting the fire. She in turn was exiled to Nikomedia, where she reposed in 408. She left instructions that her body be placed in a coffin and thrown into the sea, to be buried wherever it was cast up. The coffin came to shore at Vrochthoi and was buried there at a church dedicated to the Apostle Thomas. Her relics have continued to be a source of great miracles of healing. During his exile, St John Chrysostom wrote a number of letters to St Olympias, seventeen of which have been preserved through the centuries. In one he writes: 'Now I am deeply joyful, not only because you have been delivered from sickness, but even more because you are bearing adversities with such fortitude, calling them trifles — a characteristic of a soul filled with power and abounding in the rich fruits of courage. You are not only enduring misfortune with fortitude, but are making light of it in a seemingly effortless way, rejoicing and triumphing over it — this is a proof of the greatest wisdom.'

Alexander den store (356 f.v.t.- 323 f.v.t.), som var kung i Makedonien, skrev in sig i världshistorien genom att på några år erövra stormakten Persien. Med en blandning av hänsynslöshet och taktiskt geni nådde han ända fram till Indien, där hans män vägrade fortsätta.Alexander III utplånade städer som Thebe för att statuera ett exempel på vad som hände dem som inte underkastades sig honom utan motstånd. När han började anamma persiska seder blev hans män allt mer skeptiska. Hans död i Babylon är fortfarande höljd i mystik, men troligtvis söp han ihjäl sig bara 33 år gammal märkt av år i strid. Eller så kanske någon förgiftade honom eftersom de inte var sugna på ett planerat fälttåg till Arabien.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Daniel Hermansson, historiepoddare och historielärare aktuell med boken De kom, de såg, de segrade : vad antikens fältherrar lär oss om makten och människan.Alexander den store var son till kung Filip II av Makedonien och drottning Olympias från Epirus. Han växte upp i en tid när Makedonien lade sig under de grekiska stadsstaterna i en kultur av våld och machokultur. Han fick en omfattande utbildning med bland annat den berömda filosofen Aristoteles som lärare. Alexander blev en analytisk och strategisk tänkare, vilket senare skulle bli avgörande för hans militära framgångar.Alexander visade tidigt tecken på militär skicklighet genom att delta i sin fars krigståg. När Filip mördades 336 f.Kr., blev Alexander efter en kort maktkamp hans efterträdare. Han inledde sin regering med att föra krig mot thrakiska stammar söder om Donau. Upproret i Grekland, som utgick från Thebe, tvingade honom att avbryta fälttåget. När han hade besegrat upproret, jämnades Thebe med marken i avskräckande syfte.Efter att ha säkrat sin ställning i Grekland, vände Alexander sin uppmärksamhet österut mot det persiska riket. Han korsade Hellesponten med en armé på cirka 40 000 män i maj 334 f.Kr. Den första drabbningen ägde rum vid Granikos, där det persiska försvaret besegrades. Alexander erövrade sedan de grekiska städerna vid mindre asiatiska kusten och förde sin armé till Anatoliens högland.Slutstriden mellan Alexander och den persiske kungen Dareios III ägde rum vid Gaugamela på ett slättområde vid Tigris övre lopp under hösten 331 f.Kr. Trots att den persiska armén var mångdubbelt större, kunde Alexander, genom sin strategi, totalt utmanövrera den persiska armén. Dareios drog sig tillbaka till det iranska höglandet, där han senare mördades av sina egna. Förstörelsen av palatset i Persepolis markerade slutpunkten på denna del av Alexanders fälttåg.Senare vände Alexander sin uppmärksamhet österut mot Indusdalen, som bara formellt hade stått under persisk överhöghet. Han besegrade den indiska kungen Poros vid Hydaspes 326 f.Kr. men lät sedan denne fortsätta sin regering som lydkung.Alexander dog plötsligt 323 f.Kr. i Babylon efter en kort sjukdom – det finns också omständigheter som tyder på att han förgiftades.Omslag: Alexander den store.

We are going back to antiquity once again, this time focusing on one of the biggest names to come from the time period: Alexander the Great. However, instead of focusing directly on Alexander himself, we decided to take a look at those around him as well and truly figure out how he was able to create what would come to be the biggest empire in the world. His mother Olympias and his father Philip II were both incredibly important to his story and deserve their time to be discussed as well.

It's been a minute since I published one of my solo episodes so thanks for the patience. A lot of changes have been going o n since January and it actually sparked my thoughts for this episode. As you know if you have been listening to the show that my husband and I toured the USA last year and drove over 20,000 miles promoting my podcast. Our living conditions were quite challenging and it didn't make for the best environment for consistent workouts, sleep, or teaching my online clients. Since we got back to the east coast in late December we have settled in and really capitalized on all the networking we did last year. Many new opportunities surfaced for my posing business. A year ago I created a new way of teaching posing and stage presence that is unlike anything in th e industry. I've been fine tuning the structure and processes for the past year and have now really hit a groove. It's pretty cool to see my students transforming in ways I don't think THEY every imagined. And, get this, it's all virtual. After making new connections and from networking over the past year, a couple of industry professionals and owners of federations agreed to offer and promote my custom programs to their athletes. What an incredible opportunity! I mean really. Think about how much trust and faith it takes for a federation to offer my programs to all of their athletes. I don't take this opportunity lightly. So for the last couple months I have been customizing my programs to each federation that is on board with me. The programs are different for every federation because the federations are different from each other. The athletes have different needs from one federation to another, the judging is different, and there are different divisions in each federation too. I still have my classes for all athletes at weeklyposing.com that emphasize the fundamentals of posing and help people build better skills so they can overall become better at posing. These classes have people across all federations which is cool. It makes for a unique dynamic. These new classes I built are federation specific so they help you get ready for your show in your federation. For example, I have classes for OCB competitors only on Sunday. I teach bodybuilding, classic physique, women's physique, men's physique and figure in one class. And I teach bikini and wellness in the other class. The classes prepare people soup to nuts for an OCB show. I am building new classes for other federations as we speak. A new announcement will be coming up very soon on another collaboration. My schedule is rounded out by the on 1 lessons I also teach virtually, and the services I provide my real estate clients too, since I've been selling real estate for 18 years and own my owner brokerage. Real estate and teaching posing actually does have similarities. I just spent a couple weeks staging a 6,000sqft home for the market. So I stage people's physiques and I stage homes to present them their best so my sellers get top dollar for them. I have just now hit a stride with all of this stuff going on and finally have a chance to join you guys here again. I was thinking the other day how much bodybuilding really changed my life in ways far beyond just the competition. I think if you start your competition journey for the right reasons and don't let heavy influence from the popular crowd lead you down a dark path, your life will transform in so many incredible ways. And the benefits compound over time. Like for example, starting with your first show, that adrenaline ride to the stage and the unknown of what to expect as you goo yourself up with stage tan and/or drag queen make up and walk out in front of a crowd in your underwear is a freaking rush. And if you are in a division that requires a 60 second posing routine choreographed to music you will have even more reason to feel anticipation. Especially if you haven't busted a move in 20 years. Courage is the first thing bodybuilding will teach you. It takes a lot of courage to do that first show. Win or lose you did something that is unlike anything else you will ever experience. It's like the Tony Robbins fire walking lesson where he has people walk over fire in one of his mass events. When people walk across the fire, something changes in them. It's empowering to know they did something extreme and courageous. A bodybuilding show isn't walking over fire, but it sure does take courage to apply yourself in a way that requires 24 hour structure to your life for an extended period of time for a one day event that is scored 100% subjectively. That's courage. Bodybuilding also teaches you to always want to self improve and do better for yourself. After the first show the adrenaline rush wears off and you go back to your every day life. Except you aren't the same anymore. Something has changed inside of you. The adrenaline rush of preparing for a show might be slightly addictive for one and you might already be planning on your next show before the current show is over. But the biggest change is with your self improvement goals. You did the first show and hopefully had a lot of fun and enjoyed the day. But now you are driven to get better. Maybe better means looking better on stage. Maybe better means improving areas of your physique so you better represent the judging criteria and score better at your next show. Whatever “better” is you now have created new goals that will keep you motivated and driven to get up and keep going day in and day out. Another thing that bodybuilding teaches you is pain tolerance and work ethic. Even in a simplistic way bodybuilding does this. Lifting weights is supposed to be hard. You push your pain tolerance when you feel the burn. In return, your body builds resiliency from lifting weights by building more muscle. The dedication to structure and consistency of your workouts helps you build better work ethic too. You also learn pain tolerance in ways like when you resist temptation to eat foods you might be craving, or just resisting eating in general when you get hungry during contest prep. Doing hard things makes you more resilient and this carries over into every day life too. I remember hearing 4x Mr Olympia Jay Cutler talk about his childhood and how he was doing hard labor as a kid growing up working in his family's concrete business. He was up at 6am and worked till the sun went down and sometimes with headlights on. There were no weekends off, and after school he was working too. This was normal for him. I'm not promoting hard labor at 11 years old, but what I'm saying is that because he grew up doing harder things than most his perspective on what is hard is far different than the kid who was coddled his whole life and finds it laborious to have to brush his teeth twice a day. It's not a surprise that Jay went on to win 4 Olympias. The demands of his youth equipped him for the extreme demands of bodybuilding, like having to set an alarm to wake up and eat during the night or risk losing some of his enormous size. I also think there is something to being said about bodybuilding and how it will permanently change your perspective on the human body and its capabilities. I remember being in absolute awe the first time I saw my abs popping out of my stomach. To know that my hard work did that changed me forever. In good ways and bad. I see the human body in contest shape as a work of art. It's like a sculpture to me. I think it's absolutely beautiful. The bad side of this perspective is the years it took me to still find beauty in my physique when not in contest shape. My standards for my physique are permanently higher because I can't unsee or unfeel what I've accomplished many times getting into contest shape. Instead of focusing on being in contest shape, I focus and create physical goals that make me proud of myself instead. Little things like working my way up to 100lb dumbbell rows. I'm at 95 at the moment and working my way up to 100. Doesn't seem like a big deal to you, but for me, small wins are positive reinforcement and self love. Today I focus on mini strength goals and embrace the muscle I'm still building in my 40s. All these qualities you learn from bodybuilding from patience, courage, self improvement, and a change in perspective on what really is hard carries over into every day life too. Life has its ups and downs, relationships have their ups and downs, and so does work. You become better equipped to handle struggles and have better patience to persevere through them. Striving for self improvement carries over into career and home goals too. With bodybuilding you surprise yourself with how much more you are capable of so you don't settle for mediocre in every day life. Plus you have the courage to go after things and not sit on the sidelines while life passes you by. Belief in yourself is everything in life. And that self confidence radiates from you. All of these benefits from competing assume you are working with a coach that knows human physiology and doesn't starve or over cardio you during your contest prep. It also assumes you aren't the person banking on winning a pro card in your first show and instead are focusing on ongoing self improvement. And it assumes you aren't running for the nearest PED dealer before you have even maxed out your genetic potential. Speaking of genetic potential, it's not just contest prep where you learn a lot about yourself and your body's capabilities. It's also giving yourself time off from competing where you fuel your body and re-structure your training so you can build more muscle where you learn a ton. If you are new to competing listen when I say that your physique right now is not the best it will ever be. It is the best it is right now. If you just started lifting and maybe had a really great transformation, listen when I say, this is the best you are right now. Not the best you will ever be. Every week, month, and year you train you can continue to make improvements if you apply yourself. Don't you want to? Even in my 40s there are things I see in my physique that still need improvement so I custom program my workouts accordingly. Having things to work on keeps me motivated and goal oriented. If you showed up to your first few shows with the best physique you will ever have, what else do you have to work towards? Plus what's the rush for? Bodybuilding is one of the few sports where being over 35 and 40 is not old. One of my posing students is in his 70s and still competes regularly. You have plenty of time to build your masterpiece. After over 20 years I'm still building mine. You can even look at competing this way too. You can think about getting on stage as a way to find out what areas you need to improve too. It's one thing to see yourself posing in the mirror or flexing in your hot workout outfit for social media. But once you stand on stage next to other people, that's where you find out out your strengths and weaknesses. You then take that information back to the drawing board and restructure your program to build up your weaknesses. Not just in your physique but in your posing and stage presence too. Sometimes the best body doesn't win on stage because of really bad posing. People underestimate the amount of time it really takes to become great at posing and stage presence. Learning this skill of honest self reflection and identifying room for improvement will also transfer into every day life when you start looking at your life as a whole and looking for ways to self improve. It's not such a new concept to want growth, change, and new challenges and pushing past mediocrity. Learning how to become great at performing will bring out a new type of confidence that will transfer into every day life too. Some of the new people I work with in 1 on 1 lessons try to give me that “this is hard” nonsense before I crack the whip and tell them it's not hard, it's just new. Telling yourself something is hard will only engrave if further in your subconscious. Just the other day I bluntly asked one of my students which scenario she preferred. To look dull and forgettable on stage doing what she is currently doing. Or challenge herself by doing the uncomfortably new things to become a stand out. Her response was “good point” and then pushed past the negative self talk and put some effort into the skills I was teaching her. Learning to love constructive feedback and new challenges that push you outside your comfort zone will only help you to become more flexible and open to growth in every day life too. Changing something about your life whether it's career or general self improvement won't seem so cumbersome. Instead of crybaby talk about things being hard, you've learned to take a deep breath and tell yourself it's not hard it's just new. Maybe you are going through a difficult time in your life right now where you might deck the person who says “what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.” Just like you learned in the later stages of contest prep when you are hungry, tired, but still trucking along and staying the course until your show, you learned that even difficult times will pass and you just have to suck it up and wait it out. With bodybuilding you learn to sit with the discomfort during these difficult times and wait for them to pass. If this is resonating with you right now, I promise, you so got this. Alright guys it's great to be back on the mic with you again today and I hope you took even one valuable nugget from today's show.

Écoutez la suite du récit consacré au conquérant Alexandre le Grand. Le prince de Macédoine a été élevé par sa mère Olympias pour conquérir le monde et diffuser la culture grecque. Devenu roi après la mort de son père Philippe II, Alexandre hérite d'un royaume puissant et d'une armée expérimentée. Convaincu d'avoir le soutien des dieux, Alexandre le Grand veut reprendre le projet panhéllenique de son père : il souhaite réunir l'ensemble des Grecs. En 334 av. J.-C, il rassemble la Macédoine et les cités grecques dans une coalition pour envahir l'Empire perse. Annoncé par les devins comme l'enfant du destin, Alexandre se lance alors à la conquête de l'est. « Au Cœur de l'Histoire » est une production Europe 1.Sujets abordés : Conquête - Alexandre le Grand - Macédoine - Empire perse – Alexandrie – Dieu – Olympias – Zeus - légende - Grèce - Hellénistique - Bataille du Granique – Babylone
plutarch.life/pyrrhusPyrrhus, tempted to fight in the old Homeric style of one on one, strikes me as a man born in the wrong era. With the rise of the Macedonian phalanx, his tactical brilliance sees some success but his personal appetite for risk and voracious craving for the next adventure over the horizon cause him to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory too many times in his life. From Fabricius to Sparta to Argos, Pyrrhus seems to learn prudence, but only learns that even the Spartans can defend their homeland with everything they've got. How can we learn from Pyrrhus and not earn victories so costly that we end in defeat?Also, Pyrrhus's end in Argos...How to read a metaphor (or an omen!). And so much more...Support the show
Roman Parallel - Marius (157-86 BC)Important PeopleDemetrius (337-283) - Neighbor and even, for a time, brother-in-law. Son of Antigonus I and father of Antigonus II, Demetrius rules in Greece, Macedon (for seven years), Asia Minor but was ultimately conquered by Seleucus and imprisoned until he died of his own drinking habit.Cassander (355-297) - Son of Antipater, who had served as regent of Macedon during Alexander's campaigns and later served as regent after the death of Perdiccas, he did not inherit the Macedonian throne from his father but had to fight Polyperchon for it. He conquers Greece as well and, most infamously, ends the charade of the successors serving as satraps to a regent by killing the young Alexander IV and his mother and grandmother, Olympias.Ptolemy I Soter (367-282) - The stable successor to Alexander who carves out Egypt (305 BC) for himself and founds a dynasty that rules Egypt from the prosperous port of Alexandria until Julius Caesar's arrival. Ptolemy also strategic in his dynastic alliances to stave off further wars.Cineas - Philosopher and orator, Cineas acts as a foil to Pyrrhus's reckless moving from hope to hope. In the midpoint of this life, he attempts to help Pyrrhus think through why he should be driven from conquest to conquest and provides reflection on Pyrrhus's accomplishments. Nevertheless, the philosopher accompanies him on all Pyrrhus's expeditions.Fabricius - Our first direct encounters with Roman virtue. While not given his own biography, Fabricius looms large in contrast to Pyrrhus's vices. Fabricius is stable, cautious, and dependable where Pyrrhus is reckless, overly optimistic, and flighty.Important PlacesEpirus - Pyrrhus's birthplace and kingdom by right, inheritance, and conquest.Macedon - Neighboring kingdom to Epirus. Pyrrhus manages to win it and lose it without a fight. Rome - The new power in the Western Mediterranean, having risen even more recently than Carthage, now threatens the entire Italian peninsula, including the Greek-speaking colonies in the south. Tarentum - The colony that asks Pyrrhus for help, and then quickly comes to regret asking. Beneventum - The battle in which the Romans manage, not exactly to beat Pyrrhus, but to convince him that Italy won't be worth the fight. Key Vices and VirtuesExcessive Appetite for Conquest (πλεονεξία) - Not a vice in the Aristotelian canon, but one important to historians like Thucydides, who saw it as the root of the Athenian downfall. This Life becomes a meditation on knowign one's political limits and serving in the capacity one has been placed. The philosopher Cineas provides some of this perspective for us without being too heavy-handed.Justice - Once again ignored by most of Alexander's successors, we do se key aspects of it lived up to by the Romans. It is called the virtue of kings in this life and one philosopher observes that the Roman Senate strikes him as “An Assembly of Kings.” When Justice and Power are joined, Plutarch sees not only a properous state nor even just a stable situation, but a good government promoting virtue in its people. This life sets us up so well to enter into the Roman story, because Plutarch wants to remind even the Romans of their past virtues and encourage them to live up to those old virtues in the height of their power.Support the show
