About this book
John Oakesmith wrote The religion of Plutarch. An introductory note says the pages are practically a reprint of a volume which was issued for private circulation some twelve months ago. The text names the cynic Didymus, surnamed Planetiades, who strikes his cynic’s staff upon the ground and inveighs against the wickedness of the times. A passage has Plutarch write that, being on more familiar terms with him than were the others, he said to him: My dear Planetiades, cease your efforts to provoke a god who is really amiable and gentle.
The text says a city is a continuous entity with an abiding personality, just as child, and boy, and man are not different persons. The text asks why it is strange that the Delphians and Sybarites should be punished for the offences of their ancestors.
