Since You’re Mortal…

Stobaeus, a man from the fifth century, compiled scripts and quotes from many of the great Ancient Greek playwrights. Without his efforts, many of these excerpts would have been permanently lost. In Since You’re Mortal… (W. W. Norton & Company), Romm translates Stobaeus’ work to English for the first time. Here, timeless advice is offered through quotes that are as wise as they are witty, inviting readers to live a more thoughtful and virtuous life.
