Beschreibung

In Plutarch's Lives, Plutarch examines greatness not through conquest alone, but through character revealed under pressure.

This second volume continues Plutarch's distinctive approach, pairing Greek and Roman figures to illuminate shared virtues and contrasting moral failures. The lives collected here, including Pelopidas and Marcellus, Aristeides and Cato, and Pyrrhus among others, explore themes of discipline, ambition, justice, and restraint. Through comparison, Plutarch shows how moral qualities influence both success and downfall.

This volume presents Volume II of the English translation by Aubrey Stewart and George Long, carefully prepared for modern readers with an interest in classical civilisation.

Über den Autor

Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-120 CE) was a Greek biographer and Platonist philosopher whose works bridge Greek intellectual traditions and Roman political culture. His Parallel Lives shaped Renaissance humanism and influenced writers from Shakespeare to Montaigne. Through biography, Plutarch sought not merely to recount deeds but to examine the moral forces that govern them.
