The nine lives in this selection include those of Lycurgus, Pericles, Solon, Nicias, Themistocles, Alcibiades, Cimon, Agesilaus, and Alexander. Portraying virtues to be emulated and vices to be avoided, Plutarch explores with great insight the interplay of character and political action. This new translation is accompanied by a lucid introduction, explanatory notes, bibliographies, maps and indexes.

Mycket trevlig liten översättning som ger insikt
Albin Öberg, 2 januari 2024

Vad säger mest om en människa? Läs Plutark! Trots sina historiografiska brister lyckas Plutark förmedla något bortom "vad" och in i "vem". Ska vi emulera dessa figurer? Förmodligen inte, men vi kanske kan förstå något om vår samtids hagiografi.

Paul Cartledge, The Anglo-Hellenic Review It is ... a privilege to be offered this sparkling new translation of nine of his Greek Lives by Robin Waterfield. ... It is ... a distinguishing trait of Waterfield's that in the interests of scholarship he will go to endless lengths to find the mot juste; ... the book entirely fulfils the publisher's own criteria for inclusion in the new Oxford World's Classics list, namely to make available 'celebrated writing' in editions equipped with'perceptive commentary and essential back-ground information to meet the changing needs of readers'. To do all that also at a very modest price is an ergon (achievement) indeed.

Daniel Ogden, The Classical Review Vol.XLIX No.2 This attractively produced addition to the Oxford World's Classics series.
