Description
Originally published in 1921, this book contains an English translation by Sir Thomas North of two pairs of Plutarch's famous Lives, specifically the biographical comparisons of Timoleon with Paulus Aemelius, and Agis and Cleomenes with the Gracchi. Giles also provides an introduction on Plutarch, North, and Jacques Amyot, whose French translation of the Lives provided the basis for North's own rendering into English. This book will be of value to anyone with and interest in Plutarch and the historical transmission of his work.
