Abstract

Plutarch mentions Demetrius of Phalerum quite a few times, both in the Lives and in the Moralia. In these references, Plutarch often discusses Demetrius alongside historical figures that Demetrius was politically and intellectually involved with, along with characters and historical figures that Demetrius discusses in his own works. But at other times, it is the very activity and personality of Demetrius (as ruler or as an intellectual in exile) that is examined by Plutarch, wherein Demetrius is presented as an exemplum. It is the purpose of this chapter to analyze, on the one hand, the way Plutarch refers to Demetrius as his own source and, on the other, as an intellectual character and statesman per se, in order to discuss the multimodal approaches deriving from the dynamics of intertextuality and of intratextuality.
