He was a skilled orator and politician, and his policies helped to strengthen Athens' democracy and cultural life. He also led Athens through several major military campaigns, including the Peloponnesian War against Sparta.Plutarch's biography of Pericles provides a detailed account of his life and accomplishments, including his role in the construction of the Parthenon and other major public works in Athens. The book also explores Pericles' personal life, including his relationships with his wives and children, and his reputation as a womanizer.Overall, Pericles by Plutarch is a fascinating look at one of the most important figures in ancient Greek history, and provides insight into the political, military, and cultural developments of Athens during the 5th century BC.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plutarch's Lives: V12 Harvard Classics, by Plutarch .
