Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans Vol. 4
Ancient Biography, Greek and Roman History, and Classical Lives from Plutarch's Parallel Lives
Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans Vol. 4 presents the concluding portion of Plutarch's great work of classical biography, moral history, and ancient political literature. Known variously in English as Plutarch's Lives, Parallel Lives, and Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, the work pairs Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers, reformers, rulers, orators, and public figures in order to examine character, leadership, virtue, ambition, judgment, patriotism, and failure. Plutarch is not merely recording events; he is studying the habits and choices that shape public life.This SMK edition is suited to readers of classical literature, ancient history, Greek and Roman biography, moral philosophy, political thought, and the long tradition of civic education shaped by Plutarch's work. Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans influenced Shakespeare, Renaissance humanists, Enlightenment thinkers, historians, statesmen, and generations of readers because it treats biography as a way to understand power, consequence, courage, vanity, discipline, and public responsibility. For anyone interested in Greece, Rome, leadership, virtue, and the classical tradition, Volume 4 continues one of the central monuments of ancient biographical writing.
