In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory. Richly anecdotal and full of detail, Volume I contains profiles and comparisons of Romulus and Theseus, Numa and Lycurgus, Fabius and Pericles, and many more powerful figures of ancient Greece and Rome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present translation, originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390802493485,"sku":"WHS-87cb073e80ff403d92649d9c9fe0452a","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_0c53ac85-f8be-4f45-bf42-270bb419e61b.jpg?v=1787347441","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/plutarchs-lives-volume-3","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
