Context i història
Convé saber-ho abans de començar: al catàleg hi ha DUES edicions diferents de les Vides, aquesta en quatre volums i una altra en un de sol. No són obres diferents ni es complementen; són el mateix text en presentacions distintes, i la partió en volums és de l'editor, no de Plutarc, que va escriure parelles de vides independents. Per citar-lo, el costum és donar el nom del personatge i el capítol —«Alexandre 1»—, que val en qualsevol edició.

All these transactions greatly displeased Alkibiades, who was naturally disinclined to peace, and who hated the Lacedæmonians because they paid their court to Nikias and disregarded him. For this reason, Alkibiades from the very outset opposed the peace, but ineffectually at first. When, however, he observed that the Lacedæmonians were no longer regarded with favour by the Athenians, and were thought to have wronged them by forming an alliance with the Bœotians, and not restoring to Athens up the cities of Panaktus and Amphipolis, he seized the opportunity of exciting the people by exaggerated accounts of the misdeeds of the Lacedæmonians. Moreover he prevailed upon the people of Argos to send ambassadors to Athens to conclude an alliance.…
