  • Eros and Intellect: Plutarch's Portrait of Aspasia and Pericles

    Abstract:
    In this chapter I argue that Plutarch in the Life of Pericles reports many anecdotes and rumors about Aspasia, but has arranged his information so as to describe a couple bound together by an intellectual rather than merely a sensual attraction. I also argue that this characterization is in accord with Plutarch’s overall approach to Pericles in this biography.
