%X 
	The author takes a close look at translating ancient texts from the viewpoint
	of a historian. He explains why historians of Antiquity are usually against the very
	idea of translating Greek and Latin literature. He then proceeds to argue that historical
	knowledge is indispensable if a translation is to be rendered. This argument is supported
	by a detailed analysis of the standard Polish translation of two biographies by Plutarch,
	Life of Aristides and Life of Cimon.
