Wovon es handelt
Der dritte Band einer vierbändigen Ausgabe der Parallelbiographien.
Kontext und Geschichte
Vor dem Lesen gut zu wissen: Der Katalog enthält ZWEI verschiedene Ausgaben der Biographien, diese in vier Bänden und eine weitere in einem einzigen. Es sind keine verschiedenen Werke, und sie ergänzen einander nicht; es ist derselbe Text in anderer Aufmachung, und die Bandeinteilung stammt vom Verleger, nicht von Plutarch, der voneinander unabhängige Lebenspaare schrieb. Zitiert wird üblicherweise nach Name und Kapitel — „Alexander 1“ —, was in jeder Ausgabe gilt.
Redaktioneller Kontext, keine zitierfähige Quelle: anders als die Passagen des Werks lassen sich diese Angaben nicht am Korpus überprüfen.

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.…
