“Lives” is a series of biographies of famous Greeks and Romans by the  ancient Greek historian Plutarch who lived during the first and second  century AD. The work consists of twenty-three paired biographies, one  Greek and one Roman, and four unpaired, which explore the influence of  character on the lives and destinies of important persons of Ancient  Greece and Rome. Rather than providing strictly historical accounts,  Plutarch was most concerned with capturing his subjects common moral  virtues and failings. This volume includes the complete “Lives” in which  you will find the biographies of the following persons: Theseus,  Romulus, Lycurgus, Numa Pompilius, Solon, Poplicola, Themistocles,  Camillus, Pericles, Fabius, Alcibiades, Coriolanus, Timoleon, Æmilius  Paulus, Pelopidas, Marcellus, Aristides, Marcus Cato, Philopœmen,  Flamininus, Pyrrhus, Caius Marius, Lysander, Sylla, Cimon, Lucullus,  Nicias, Crassus, Sertorius, Eumenes, Agesilaus, Pompey, Alexander,  Cæsar, Phocion, Cato the younger, Agis, Cleomenes, Tiberius Gracchus,  Caius Gracchus, Demosthenes, Cicero, Demetrius, Antony, Dion, Marcus  Brutus, Aratus, Artaxerxes, Galba, and Otho. Plutarch’s “Lives” remains  today as one of the most important historical accounts of the classical  period. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
