Alcibiades by Plutarch is a biography of the famous Athenian general and politician, Alcibiades. Plutarch chronicles Alcibiades' life from his youth in Athens to his rise to power and eventual downfall. The book explores Alcibiades' many accomplishments, including his role in the Peloponnesian War and his successful leadership of the Athenian navy. However, it also delves into his many controversies, including his involvement in the mutilation of statues and his betrayal of Athens to Sparta. Plutarch offers a nuanced and complex portrait of Alcibiades, highlighting both his brilliance and his flaws. The book is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek politics and military history.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plutarch's Lives: V12 Harvard Classics, by Plutarch .
