Plutarch urged that women display chasteness and should not appear sexual before the public eye.

For some reason the best translations of Plutarch at the ones done in the 16th century. Dryden's translation comes in third.

The best translations are 19th century German translations. All the best treatment of Roman History was also done by Germans as well.

Basically learn German and read German translations of Plutarch
