Vetting Status: high
Translation: Surnamed Julius, son of
Atticus the son of
Plutarch,[1] a member of the Aeacid family; an Athenian, of the deme
Marathon. Sophist. He was extremely wealthy, so much so that he built a stadium and a roofed theatre for the Athenians. His father was governor of Asia, and was included among those who held the consulship twice. He lived under the emperors Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Antoninus, and was taught by
Favorinus[2] and
Polemo.[3] He wrote
Ephemerides, an extremely learned composition, and letters and improvisatory speeches;
Philostratus mentions them in the
Lives of the Sophists. Hadrian[4] the sophist succeeded him as head of his school. Herodes was a contemporary of the sophist
Aristides.[5] Very many other works by him are preserved, in which the greatness and elevation of his spirit can be observed and are displayed throughout. He died of consumption aged about 76.
