De qué trata
El tercer volumen de una edición en cuatro tomos de las Vidas paralelas.
Contexto e historia
Conviene saberlo antes de empezar: en el catálogo hay DOS ediciones distintas de las Vidas, esta en cuatro volúmenes y otra en uno solo. No son obras distintas ni se complementan; son el mismo texto en presentaciones distintas, y la partición en volúmenes es del editor, no de Plutarco, que escribió parejas de vidas independientes. Para citarlo, la costumbre es dar el nombre del personaje y el capítulo —«Alejandro 1»—, que vale en cualquier edición.
Contexto editorial, no una fuente citable: a diferencia de los pasajes de la obra, estos datos no se pueden comprobar contra el corpus.

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.…
