Publisher's Synopsis
Plutarch On The Delay Of The Deity In The Punishment Of The Wicked is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek historian and philosopher Plutarch. The book explores the concept of divine justice and the delay in the punishment of the wicked by the gods. Plutarch argues that the delay is not a sign of indifference or weakness on the part of the gods, but rather a deliberate act of mercy and patience. He draws on examples from mythology and history to support his arguments and offers insights into the nature of the divine and the human condition.
