Plutarch's essay, \u003cem\u003eOn Dysopia\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eHow to Resist Pressure\u003c\/em\u003e, and Prudentius's poetic allegory, \u003cem\u003ePsychomachia\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eHow to Slay Your Demons\u003c\/em\u003e, challenge the idea that humans are helpless victims of vice. These works, introduced and presented in vivid, accessible new prose translations by Michael Fontaine, with the original Latin and Greek texts on facing pages, emphasise the power of personal choice and the possibility of personal growth as they offer insights and practical advice about resisting temptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spirit of the best ancient self-help writing, Plutarch, a pagan Greek philosopher and historian, offers a set of practical recommendations and steps we can take to resist pressure and to stop saying 'yes' against our better judgement. In a delightfully different work, Prudentius, a Latin Christian poet, dramatises the necessity to actively fight temptation through the story of an epic battle within the human soul between fierce warrior women representing our virtues and vices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlutarch and Prudentius insist that we allow pressure or temptations to get the best of us. But they also agree that we can do something about it. And their wisdom can help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000640159980,"sku":"9780691220345","price":49.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2190593482434.jpg?v=1763292527"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/prudentius.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
