Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Plutarch´s Lives, Vol. 2 of 6: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a New Life of Plutarch Such were the memorable actions of Pericles, as far as we have been able to collect them; and now we proceed to the life of Fabius Maximus. The first Fabius was the son of Hercules, by one of the nymphs, according to some authors; or, as others say, by a woman of the country, near the river Tyber. From him came the family of the Fabii, one of the most numerous and illustrious in Rome. Yet some authors write, that the first founders of this family were called Fodii, on account of their catching wild beasts by means of pits; for a pit is still in Latin fovea, and the word fodere signifies to dig: but in time two letters being changed, they had the name of Fabii. This family produced many eminent men, the most considerable of whom was Rullus, by the Romans surnamed Maximus, or the great, and from him the Fabius Maximus of whom we are writing, was the fourth in descent.
