Plutarch's writings have had a varied reception history from when he was writing in the second century BCE down to today. This volume starts from what may be a translation into the Syriac dialect of a lost Plutarch essay; continues with a tribute from a leading scholar of the later Byzantine period; and follows the centuries of sustained enthusiasm from the Renaissance to the eighteenth century. This period started once a translation into Latin had become available, and ended when scholars in the nineteenth century lowered Plutarch's reputation as historian, biographer, philosopher, and stylist. By the end of the century, he came to symbolize in the eyes of Tolstoy precisely what history should not be. Both the causes of the decline and the later recovery of interest raise important new questions about how Plutarch should be assessed in the twenty-first century. This is one of the early volumes in the series of 'Afterlives' of the Classics, being produced jointly by the Institute of Classical Studies and the Warburg.

It's a common question but what makes a successful entrepreneur? Of course, this question starts a whole conversation about the definition of success. It's my belief that success isn't just about making money. Most people start a business for the freedom they expect it to give to them. The cold hard reality is that most entrepreneurs end up working longer hours and for a lot less than a typical wage. Why would any sane person work for less money, work much longer hours and have way less freedom than they probably had in a day job?The reason is they have a much bigger vision for their future than the average person. So why if someone works harder than an average worker then why doesn't every entrepreneur become massively successful? What is the secret that helps the budding entrepreneur become successful?It's probably a clique but there is a formula to it. The challenge is that there are plenty of mad scientists out there selling you their secret formula. Often it really only works for them or a few followers. Why? Because they probably got lucky along the way. There are no real shortcuts to success, of course, there are exceptions to the rule. It's call luck or being at the right place at the right time. But often even the overnight success stories actually have a hard-luck backstory and years of failure and frustration.This book is about the process, strategy and implementation of your ideas. The 5 stages are our way of showing you a viable success path and will help you understand the mindset you need to develop to achieve your definition of success. You may be tempted to diagnose yourself at one stage and skip the stages prior. The reality is that often problems and challenges occur due to lack of fundamentals.For more information visit http: //evolvepreneur.club and search for our "evolvepreneur" podcast in Apple.

Volume two reveals the extraordinary diversity of ancient Roman religion. A comprehensive sourcebook, it presents a wide range of documents illustrating religious life in the Roman world - from the foundations of the city in the eighth century BC to the Christian capital more than a thousand years later. Each document is given a full introduction, explanatory notes and bibliography, and acts as a starting point for further discussion. Through paintings, sculptures, coins and inscriptions, as well as literary texts in translation, the book explores the major themes and problems of Roman religion, such as sacrifice, the religious calendar, divination, ritual, and priesthood. Starting from the archaeological traces of the earliest cults of the city, it finishes with a series of texts in which Roman authors themselves reflect on the nature of their own religion, its history, even its funny side. Judaism and Christianity are given full coverage, as important elements in the religious world of the Roman empire.

This book offers a radical new survey of more than a thousand years of religious life at Rome. It sets religion in its full cultural context, between the primitive hamlet of the eighth century BC and the cosmopolitan, multicultural society of the first centuries of the Christian era. The narrative account is structured around a series of broad themes: how to interpret the Romans' own theories of their religious system and its origins; the relationship of religion and the changing politics of Rome; the religious importance of the layout and monuments of the city itself; changing ideas of religious identity and community; religious innovation - and, ultimately, revolution. The companion volume, Religions of Rome: A Sourcebook, sets out a wide range of documents richly illustrating the religious life in the Roman world.
