Sinopsis

'Alcibiades' is a biographical account by Plutarch, detailing the life of the prominent Athenian statesman and general, Alcibiades (c. 450-404 BC). The work explores Alcibiades?s role in Athenian politics and military campaigns during the Peloponnesian War. Celebrated for his charisma and strategic acumen, Alcibiades was also a controversial figure, whose shifting allegiances and ambition significantly impacted the course of Athenian history.

The narrative captures the tumultuous political climate of ancient Athens, revealing the tensions between democracy, ambition, and personal loyalty.
