Duff, T. (2008) “Models of Education in Plutarch.” Journal of Hellenic Studies 128: 1-26.

Excerpt:
This paper examines Plutarch’s treatment of education in the Parallel Lives. Beginning with a close reading of Them. 2, it identifies two distinct ways in which Plutarch exploits the education of his subjects: in the first, a subject’s attitude to education is used to illustrate a character presented as basically static; in the second, a subject’s education is looked at in order to explain his adult character, and education is assumed to affect character.
