This graduate seminar will involve a close reading and study Plutarch’s Life of Romulus, particularly in relation to the paired Life of Theseus. We will examine Plutarch’s frameworks and principles for “life writing” in general, as well as his understanding and application of the traditional concepts of the Greek “hero” and Roman exemplum, to shed light on his poetics in this mythistorical “biography.”
