Besides presenting an introduction, a revised Greek text, and a new English translation (with copious notes), the volume offers a range of essays on themes providing further insights into this masterly literary piece: on the historical, religious and philosophical background and on thematic connections with other works by Plutarch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sapere-series.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/DeGenio_Errata_corrige.pdf\" title=\"\">Corrigenda for SAPERE XVI On the daimonion of Socrates.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>R.
