Bro I literally am reading Plutarch. Just finished Demosthenes on the treadmill this morning.

I'm learning Greek first
Translations are my enemy
3,321,432,849,274 languages learned
Modern languages are a fuck

Based and Plutarch pilled.
So, what do you think so far?

Also this, and good news for me because I was already learning Greek, had Latin on the back burner, and assumed until this post that it was originally in Latin.

That said I‘d read the North translation for Shakespeare studies if I could find it at a reasonable price.

Plutarch: the tropical island of Calypso and Ulysses is le… in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean

He was certainly not the geographer.

It's good. I read it out of order because I have a "selection" by fuller. Romans and Greeks are separated. Demosthenes ended the Greeks for me so I am starting the Romans today. Wish I had a set like your picrel
