Wovon es handelt

The Parallel Lives, in Clough's translation.

Kontext und Geschichte

Plutarch pairs a Greek with a Roman — Alexander and Caesar, Demosthenes and Cicero — and compares them at the end of each pair. He is not writing history but **character**: he says outright that a small anecdote reveals the man better than a battle. Half of Shakespeare's Roman plays come from here, and much of what the West thinks it knows about antiquity.
