Proper Comportment at Lectures

Plutarch's writings remain just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. As we survey this great Roman writer, we'll focus on the following questions:

1. Why are we indebted to Plutarch for the prominence of poetry in our literary canon?
2. According to Plutarch, why should parents invest in the education of their children?
3. How are Plutarch's guidelines on how to learn as relevant today as they were to the imperial Roman?
