Other Etext Links
The above link to the complete Lives (and other works of Plutarch) at the University of Adelaide is recommended for on-line reading, but no notes are provided; here are the other sources I've found:
- Project Gutenberg has the complete Arthur Hugh Clough (Dryden) translation and just Volumes I and III of the Aubrey Stewart/George Long translation (24 lives total)
- Bill Thayer's excellent site has annotated translations of the Roman lives and four Greeks (from LCL), plus some minor works and links
- Perseus online texts, includes only 14 Lives, but with helpful hyperlinks and footnotes. Translations by Bernadotte Perrin and Thomas North.
- Great Books Online has links to separate files for each life, but most of these are links to Classics Archives which have many truncated (incomplete) files.
- Bartleby version of the Lives, the Harvard Classics text which has only 9 lives and 2 comparsions
- Plutarch at e-classics.com, Wilmot McCutchen's site. Covers only the Greeks.
Links About Plutarch
- Plutarch Wikipedia article
- Perseus has a couple of pages in addition to the etext linked above
- Harvard Classics brief lecture on Plutarch by Professor W. S. Ferguson.
- Open Directory Project page on Plutarch. Many links, but the best are repeated on my page, and new links are always possible.
- Chaironeia, self-described "Plutarch's Home on the Web" at the University of Texas. Links only, and most seem defective.
- International Plutarch Society, apparently of little use other than for a bibliography
