    Jeffrey Beneker deposited Death is not the End: Spousal Devotion in Plutarch’s Portraits of Camma, Porcia, and Cornelia in the group Group logo of Ancient Greece & RomeAncient Greece & Rome on Humanities Commons 4 years, 8 months ago

    In this chapter, I discuss one particular virtue of women as it is narrated by Plutarch, that of moderation (sophrosyne), and how it manifests itself in a wife’s devotion to her husband. I focus on three characters who appear in Plutarch’s works, Camma (in Dialogue on Love and Virtues of Women), Cornelia (in the Lives of Brutus and Cato Minor), and Cornelia, mother of the Gracchi (in Lives of the Gaius and Tiberius Gracchus).
