"Plutarch's Lives" is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. This fourth volume offers insight into the lives of prominent figures from Greek and Roman history.

Translated by William Watson Goodwin, this edition makes Plutarch's timeless work accessible to modern readers, retaining the eloquence and depth of the original.
Explore the lives of great leaders, statesmen, and warriors, and discover the moral lessons that Plutarch sought to impart. A cornerstone of classical literature, "Plutarch's Lives" continues to resonate with its profound insights into human nature and leadership.
