The introductory chapters of the Plutarchan Lives of Demosthenes and Cicero are much relied on for personal information about the author. It is here that Plutarch tells us that he wrote the Parallel Lives while residing in his home town of Chaeronea, and that he had been to Italy; his knowledge of Latin was, however, limited. As a matter of course, numerous scholars have paid attention to these statements, often with far-reaching interpretive implications. If the passage is accepted at face value, Plutarch comes across as a placid yet honourable man of letters, not a social climber but a morally upstanding gent who was loyal to his clan as well as one who disliked, could not afford, or was apprehensive about living in a big city. Alternatively, one might mistrust Plutarch and unscramble his voice as plea by a wily loser in the literary and political competition of his day. Donald Russell sensed that Plutarch was left on the fringe because his career somehow did not take off. Russell's intuition is filled out by Glen Bowersock's robust conjecture that Plutarch's (relative) seclusion in Chaeronea during Trajan's reign was not quite voluntary: having compromised himself in the 90s with his pro-Flavian biographies of the Caesars, Plutarch laboured to clinch a comeback by means of the Parallel Lives and essays.

The present volume derivesits inspiration from the papers presented at the 10 th Conferenceofthe International Plutarch Society,titled Space,Time and LanguageinPlutarch'sV isions of Greek Culture: Introversion, Imperial Cosmopolitanism and Other Formso fI nteraction with the Past and Present,which was held at the European Cultural Center at Delphi, 16 -18 May2014. Our choice of Delphi as avenue for the meeting was closelyc onnected with Plutarch'sl ong-standing and deep ties with the city and its sanctuary:ties which extended from his visit to Delphi with his teacher Ammonius on the occasion of Nero'st our of Greecei n6 7( TheEat Delphi 385B) to his electiona so ne of the two permanent priests of the shrine (perhaps in Trajan's reign),¹ down to the reign of Hadrian,when as epimelete of the Delphic Amphictyony he supervised the erection of astatue for the emperor(Dittenberger, Syll.

Desde o período arcaico grego, o santuário de Delfos recebeu consulentes gregos e bárbaros e, à época de Plutarco, encontramos registros de cidadãos romanos que recorreram ao deus Apolo para obterem suas respostas oraculares sobre as mais diversas questões. Assim, o objetivo deste capítulo é analisar a visão de Plutarco sobre a relação de gregos e romanos com os oráculos proferidos em Delfos.
