In short, we shall attempt to unravel whether Plutarch issues a nostalgic Atticist attempt to return to an idealized past or also evidences a relationship of diglossia rooted in the Attic dialect from the rise of Koine.2019http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/14869210.1484/J.EUPHR.5.125302http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/148692oai:zaguan.unizar.es:148692info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/HAR2016-76098-C2-2-PEuphrosyne 47 (2019), 295-308by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
