Abstract
This article examines the Byzantine adaptation of the anecdote of the Lydian king Pythes within Nikephoros Basilakes’ <i>Progymnasma</i> 11 in relation to its earliest surviving source, Plutarch’s <i>Mulierum virtutes</i> 262D–263A. By looking at the ascription accompanying Basilakes’ progymnasma, it additionally argues for the popularity of Plutarch’s <i>Parallel Lives</i> in Komnenian Byzantium.
