Πλουτάρχου Βίοι Παράλληλοι - Τόμος 3

This volume brings to life Plutarch’s celebrated series of paired biographies, opening with the charismatic and controversial Athenian statesman Alcibiades. Through vivid anecdote and careful detail, listeners learn about his noble lineage, his early exploits on the battlefield, and his close ties to figures such as Socrates, Pericles and other prominent Athenians. The narrative sketches his striking appearance, sharp wit, and the complex mix of ambition and charm that made him a pivotal player in the tumultuous world of 5th‑century Greece.

The translation preserves the original’s lively tone while offering modern readers clear, engaging prose. Alongside Alcibiades, the book presents parallel lives of other notable Greeks and Romans, drawing thoughtful moral comparisons that reveal both personal virtues and the broader cultural currents of the era. Listeners will be drawn into the drama of ancient politics, the intrigue of courtly life, and the timeless questions about character and destiny that Plutarch so masterfully explores.
