……《居鲁士的教育》（Education of Cyrus，嘿，非西方的！）或者《长征记》（Anabasis）。最后一本可能是最扣人心弦的。另外，希罗多德的书很有趣，但你不太可能全读完。随便翻翻读读很不错。哦，普鲁塔克的《亚历山大（大帝）传》（Life of Alexander）篇幅不长，而且比正史更好看，因为他聚焦于人物性格并讲述个人故事。一旦你读进去了，柏拉图真他妈绝了。但你得打心底里想读——或者得有……
…Cyrus” (hey, non-western!) or “Anabasis.” The last one is probably the most exciting. Alternatively, Herodotus is fun, but you won’t read the whole thing. It is good to dip in and out of. Oh, Plutarch’s “Life of Alexander (the great)” is not too long and better than a history, because he focuses on his character and telling personal stories. Once you get going, Plato is frikkin amazing. But you have to want it— or have…
……比我预想的好得多。对历史的还原度很高，演技精湛，战斗场面扣人心弦，甚至时不时还能窥见一些深奥的哲理。除此之外，我知道的最佳资料来源是普鲁塔克的《Life of Alexander》。读起来文笔极美（尽管如果能经过一点现代编辑润色可能会更好）。强烈推荐！https://lexundria.com/plut_alex/1-77/prr 我想楼主的核心观点是——这……
…It was much better than I’d expected. Great historical alignment, excellent acting, exciting battle scenes and even some drops of esoteric wisdom here and there. Beyond that, the best source I know is Life of Alexander by Plutarch. It reads beautifully (even if it could probably benefit from some modern editing). Highly recommended! https://lexundria.com/plut_alex/1-77/prr I suppose the point of the OP is that—it’s…
……我才发现它竟然能这么精彩。初学者推荐书单：* 杨布利柯的《Life of Pythagoras》 * 阿普列乌斯的《The Golden Ass》（特别是罗伯特·格雷夫斯的英译本） * 普鲁塔克的《Life of Alexander》 * 色诺芬的《Education of Cyrus》 * 柏拉图的《Parmenides》 另外，我觉得 SHWEP.net 网站在带领大家温和而严谨地研读许多经典方面非常有价值，尽管它的视角偏向秘教传统……
…I discovered how incredible it can be. Suggested Reading for beginners: * Life of Pythagoras, by Iamblichus * The Golden Ass, by Apuleius of Numenia (specifically, translation by Robert Graves) * Life of Alexander by Plutarch * Education of Cyrus by Xenophon * Parmenides by Plato Also, I have found SHWEP.net to be invaluable for a gentle yet rigorous guide through many classics, though it takes an esoteric bent…
……你这是假定了关于亚历山大的故事是真的，这里的“真的”可以理解为“出自关于亚历山大的传统传说”。但我认为并非如此。首先，普鲁塔克的《Life of Alexander》压根就没提这个故事。普鲁塔克绝对是最后一个会漏掉这么好的故事的人。如果我错了我也乐意承认，但这需要证据。就我所知，这个故事最初是……
…you're assuming the story about Alexander is true, where "true" here can be taken to mean "comes from the traditional stories about Alexander". I'm suggesting that it doesn't. For one thing, Plutarch's life of Alexander doesn't mention the story. Plutarch would be the last person to leave out a good one like that. I'm happy to be wrong, but showing that requires a source. As far as I can tell, the story was originally…
