Plutarco ripercorre le fortune di atene attraverso nove vite, da teseo, il suo fondatore, a lisandro, il suo conquistatore spartano, in questa fondamentale opera cosa rende un leader? per plutarco la risposta non risiedeva nelle grandi vittorie, ma nella forza morale. In queste nove biografie, tratte dalle sue vite parallele, plutarco illustra l'ascesa e la caduta di atene attraverso nove vite, dai leggendari giorni di teseo, il fondatore della città, attraverso solone, temistocle, aristide, cimone, pericle, nicia e alcibiade, fino alla demolizione delle sue mura da parte di lisandro. Plutarco alla fine ritenne le debolezze dei suoi leader responsabili della caduta della città. La sua opera è inestimabile per la sua ricostruzione fantasiosa del passato e per le profonde intuizioni sulla vita e i successi umani. Questa edizione della fondamentale traduzione di ian scott-kilvert, completamente rivista con una nuova introduzione e note di john marincola, contiene ora anche l'attacco di plutarco al primo storico, "sulla malizia di erodoto".

Plutarch (c.50-c.120 AD) was a writer and thinker born into a wealthy, established family of Chaeronea in central Greece. He received the best possible education in rhetoric and philosophy, and traveled to Asia Minor and Egypt. Later, a series of visits to Rome and Italy contributed to his fame, which was given official recognition by the emperors Trajan and Hadrian. Plutarch rendered conscientious service to his province and city (where he continued to live), as well as holding a priesthood at nearby Delphi. His voluminous surviving writings are broadly divided into the "moral"works and the Parallel Lives of outstanding Greek and Roman leaders. The former (Moralia) are a mixture of rhetorical and antiquarian pieces, together with technical and moral philosophy (sometimes in dialogue form). The Lives have been influential from the Renaissance onwards.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Plutarch traces the fortunes of Athens through nine lives - from Theseus, its founder, to Lysander, its Spartan conqueror - in this seminal workWhat makes a leader? For Plutarch the answer lay not in great victories, but in moral strengths. In these nine biographies, taken from his Parallel Lives, Plutarch illustrates the rise and fall of Athens through nine lives, from the legendary days of Theseus, the city's founder, through Solon, Themistocles, Aristides, Cimon, Pericles, Nicias and Alcibiades, to the razing of its walls by Lysander. Plutarch ultimately held the weaknesses of its leaders responsible for the city's fall. His work is invaluable for its imaginative reconstruction of the past, and profound insights into human life and achievement. This edition of Ian Scott-Kilvert's seminal translation, fully revised with a new introduction and notes by John Marincola, now also contains Plutarch's attack on the first historian, 'On the Malice of Herodotus'.
