Themistocles is a biography written by Plutarch that chronicles the life of Themistocles, an Athenian politician and general who played a pivotal role in the Greek victory over the Persians in the Battle of Salamis. The book explores Themistocles' early life, rise to power, and political and military strategies that helped Athens become a dominant force in ancient Greece. Plutarch delves into Themistocles' cunning tactics, including his decision to build a powerful navy and his clever use of intelligence and deception to outmaneuver his enemies. The biography also touches on Themistocles' downfall, including his exile from Athens and eventual death in Persia. Overall, Themistocles provides a fascinating insight into the life and achievements of one of ancient Greece's most influential figures.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plutarch's Lives: V12 Harvard Classics, by Plutarch .
