Coriolanus is a biography written by the ancient Greek historian Plutarch. The book tells the story of the life and career of the Roman general Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, who lived in the 5th century BC. Plutarch portrays Coriolanus as a brave and skilled warrior, but also as a proud and stubborn man who often clashed with the political leaders of Rome. The book covers Coriolanus' early life and military campaigns, including his victory against the Volscians at the city of Corioli, which earned him his nickname. It also details his political career, including his election to the consulship and his subsequent banishment from Rome after he refused to show mercy to the city's poor during a famine. The book concludes with Coriolanus' decision to ally with the Volscians and lead an army against Rome, which ultimately resulted in his death. Overall, Coriolanus is a fascinating account of one of Rome's most complex and controversial figures, and provides valuable insights into the politics and culture of ancient Rome.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plutarch's Lives: V12 Harvard Classics, by Plutarch .
