Book Overview

Plutarch's Lives of Illustrious Men is a historical biography written by the Greek historian Plutarch in the 2nd century AD. This particular edition, Volume 4, was translated into English by John Dryden and published in 1908. The book contains biographies of notable figures from ancient Greece and Rome, including Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony. Plutarch's writing focuses on the character and virtues of these figures, rather than just recounting their accomplishments. The book provides a fascinating insight into the lives of some of the most influential people in history and their impact on the world. Dryden's translation is considered one of the most accessible and readable versions of Plutarch's work, making it an excellent resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in ancient history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
