Aesop's fable of Republicans and Democrats. Donald Trump as Timon of Athens. Larry King's interview of Marcus Aurelius. AOC as Antigone. Fake news, conspiracy theories, and impeachment. In these 36 poems, by turns serious, provocative, tragical, and humorous-but always imaginative and insightful-Robert Hamblin brings back Plutarch's illustrious Greeks and Romans as contemporary political figures. As the resurrected Plutarch notes in the Prologue, The heroes and villains in my day are not greatly different from the heroes and villains in yours. He goes on to add, The only real difference is that we killed more politicians than you do.
