Pericles, who built Athens even in the midst of war. Alexander the Great, who reached India with his troops. Caesar, whose legions reached Britain. Cicero, who was a much better philosopher than politician, and the Spartan kings who always chose battle over life in a palace. By comparing the famous men of Ancient Greece and Rome, Plutarch tells us through their biographies about the entire ancient era: its wars, political games, and ideas that shaped the fate of Europe for centuries to come.
