The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the genre of ancient biographical writing,
which is a sub-genre of historiography. Our understanding of Greek and Roman biography is
shaped by the later development of genre when compared to other forms of historiography. That
emergence has had the effect of leaving obscure the early stages of its evolution, especially in the
late classical and Hellenistic periods. The most important surviving Greek and Latin biographical
works are relatively late, deriving from the period of the Roman Empire. Here the figures of
Suetonius and, first and foremost, Plutarch stand on eminences of the highest cultural importance
for western civilization. The material covered in this course is aligned with the reading for Ancient
History and Interdisciplinary track option of the MA and PhD. programs of the Department of
Classics.
Texts:
Many of the main readings (in both Greek and Latin) for the course either can be downloaded from
the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae or from the Perseus online archive or can be acquired by purchase
or by borrowing from Rutgers libraries (in the editions as noted on the course bibliography). A few
texts that are difficult to procure will be scanned and uploaded on the course SAKAI website. For
passages assigned in Greek/Latin, we shall naturally work exclusively from texts without
concurrent translations (unlike Loebs), although the translations for some texts (for which sections
will be read in Greek/Latin) will need to be near at hand for consultation.
Our readings will sometimes intermingle passages in the ancient languages with English
translations for we shall aim to balance the coverage of a wide range of ancient biography with a
prudence sense of how much Greek or Latin can be read each week. Students are, however,
encouraged to read the assigned works in the original language in their entirety. Loebs acquired
from Rutgers libraries will probably suffice for the readings in English. However, three
translations that may also be useful are Penguin editions: A. Birley, trans., Lives of the Later
Caesars, Viking-Penguin 1976; Plutarch, Rise and Fall of Athens: Nine Greek Lives, I.
Scott-Kilvert trans., Viking-Penguin 1960; Suetonius, The Twelve Caesars, R. Graves trans.,
Viking-Penguin 1957.
Course Requirements: There will be a final exam, a short test, which will be composed of several
passages to be translated. This test will be self-administered during the second half of the term and

will constitute 30% of the final grade. Aside from this exam, the primary obligation for this course
will be the production of a 15-20 page research paper on some aspect of Classical biographical
literature. A list of topics is attached to this syllabus, and a tentative subject should be chosen by
September 24. We will hold a meeting during exams (December 17, 8:00-11:00) for participants
to present their papers. Final, corrected copies will be due at 1:00 on December 20. Preliminary
drafts should be available for review by the afternoon of December 12, in order to allow the
members of the class to examine them before discussion. Another student will be assigned to lead
the discussion of each individual's paper. This paper and its oral presentation will comprise 45%
of the final grade. The remaining 25% of the final grade will be based on participation in the
meetings of the course.
