The point is of little consequence for the reason that both Shakespeare and Collin based their characters directly upon the delineation of Plutarch. Beethoven himself could well have been familiar with all three versions. His library contained a much-thumbed copy of Plu- tarch's Lives, and a set of Shakespeare in the translation of Eschenburg, with many passages underlined. The tale of Coriolanus, as related by Plutarch, is in itself exciting dramatic material (details of which have been questioned by histo- rians) . Coriolanus, according to Plutarch, was a patrician general of the Romans, a warrior of the utmost bravery and recklessness who, single- handed, had led Rome to victory against the neighboring Volscians. Rome was at this time torn by bitter controversy between the patricians and the plebeians who declared themselves starved and oppressed be-:f: yond endurance. Coriolanus, impulsive and overbearing, had scorned and openly insulted the populace in terms which roused the general anger, and when the military hero was proposed as consul, the senate was swayed by the popular clamor, and voted his permanent exile from Rome in the year 491 b.c. Swept by feelings of bitterness and desire for revenge, he took refuge with the Volscians, the traditional enemies of the Romans, and made compact with them to lead a campaign against his own people. The fall of Rome seemed imminent, and emissaries were sent from the capital to the Volscian encampment in city outside the walls. Coriolanus met every entreaty with absolute re-| |e jection. In desperation, a delegation of women went out from the city,, led by his mother and his wife. They went to his tent and beseeched( him on their knees to spare his own people. The pride and determina- tion of the soldier were at last subdued by the moving words of his mother, who pictured the eternal disgrace which he would certainly HIGH note NEW HIGHER DIVIDEND ON ALL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS AT HOME OWNERS FEDERAL • SEND FOR FREE SAVE- BY- MAIL KIT • WE PAY POSTAGE BOTH WAYS annual rate OUR DIVIDENDS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO MASS.
