Plutarch 
Plutarch’s Advice to the Bride and Groom and A Consolation to His Wife [PDF ebook] 
English Translations, Commentary, Interpretive Essays, and Bibliography

While perhaps best known for his Lives, Plutarch also wrote philosophical dialogues that constitute a major intellectual legacy from the first century A.D. This collection presents two important short works from his writings in moral philosophy. They reveal Plutarch at his best—informative, sympathetic, rich in narrative—and are accompanied by an extensive commentary that situates Plutarch and his views on marriage in their historical context.
