Plutarch's Lives, Volume 2 (of 4)

Note 332 — LIFE OF LUCULLUS.

George Long translation

Kaltwasser has translated this passage differently from his predecessors: "turned his ship aside by a quick movement and made all his men crowd to the stern." But his version is probably wrong. The expression ἐπὶ πρύμναν ώασθαι is perhaps equivalent to πρύμνον κρούεσθαι. (Thucydides, i. 50.)
