Abstract

In his Lives Plutarch warns about a (possible) barbarization of people living under or around non-Greeks, as in Tim. 17.3, where he notices the consequences of the invasion of the Carthaginians on the Sicilians. Though it isn’t an usual phenomenon, Plutarch collects three more examples in Lys. 3.2, Pyrrh. 1.4, and Arat. 38.6. I will focus on the causes that provoke this attraction of the Greeks to adopt some barbarian customs, and, therefore, make them to separate from or forget some of the symbols of their identity, and the solution to recover the Greekness.
