Working Papers on Nervan, Trajanic and Hadrianic Literature 1.7
‘The Sophist and his Beard’ Anna Ginestí Rosell, 14th April 2013
This working paper is a piece of early-stage research on one particular passage of Plutarch’s Quaestiones Convivales (VII 7-8). It looks at Plutarch’s representation of a sophist at a symposium, and compares it with portraits of sophists in a number of other contemporary texts.
