About this ebook
Plutarch’s Lives continues its exploration of character and consequence in this third volume, examining figures whose lives were shaped by uncertainty, ambition, and political danger.
Here, Plutarch presents paired biographies such as Nikias and Crassus, Sertorius and Eumenes, and Agesilaus, drawing attention to how temperament, foresight, and moral judgment determine outcomes as much as external events. Success and failure are traced not to fate alone, but to character revealed in decisive moments.
This volume contains Volume III of the renowned English translation by Aubrey Stewart and George Long. Rich in narrative detail and moral reflection, it rewards readers interested in ancient history, leadership, and the ethical dimensions of public life.
