The Penguin classics Introduction -- Thesus -- Solon -- Themistocles -- Aristides -- Cimon -- Pericles Writing at the turn of the first century A.D., Plutarch intentionally blended two cultures in his parallel lives of Greek and Roman heroes. The nine biographies chosen for this modern translation by Iaan Scott-Kilvert illustrate the rise and fall of Athens from the legendary days of Theseus, the city's founder, to the age of Pericles and the razing of its walls by Lysander. The volume forms a companion to Plutarch's Fall of the Roman Republic and Makers of Rome (in the Penguin Classics).
