[Ads-l] Adage: An army of stags led by a lion is more formidable than an army of lions led by a stag. Attributed to Plutarch

For the originals, the Loeb Classical Library is good, and include both the original Latin/Greek with side-by-side English translations. They're not always the preferred edition for scholarly research, but they're very respectable. The public domain editions are, of course, all rather old, but when it comes to editions of classical works that's hardly a fatal problem.
 
The public domain editions can be found here:

All the editions are available online via paywalled sites. Most good university libraries should have access.

What are the best books (or websites) for verifying ascriptions to
Plutarch? Ovid? Julius Caesar?
