Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Greek Statesmen: Second Series The lives given in the first volume of this series were pre sented to the reader as a picture of the Greek world down to the close of the struggle with Persia. I undertook in the present volume to deal with the statesmen whose lives be long, for the most part, to the period of the fatal struggle between Athens and Sparta. I have, however, been oh liged to confine myself to the lives of those statesmen whose political activity belongs almost wholly to the time preceding the catastrophe of the Athenian armament at Syracuse. The third volume will cover a larger period. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Greek Statesmen: Solon-Chemistokles The history of a people is often best studied in the lives of individual citizens; and this is perhaps to a larger extent the case in the ancient Greek world than elsewhere. A Greek nation, in one sense of the word, there never was; but some individual Greek citizens proposed to themselves and acted on a policy which, if consistently carried out, might have had for its results the growth of a vigorous national life. Apart from this there is the personal interest which gathers round the career of great men, and which should lead us to examine most carefully the grounds of the judgements passed upon them. These reasons have led me to hope that the cause of historical truth may be promoted by a series of lives of Greek statesmen from the dawn of contemporary history to the last days of the Achaian League. In a certain sense, it is true, all free citizens in such a city as Athens were statesmen; hut even at Athens there were always some who rose to preeminence among their fellows, and the influence exercised by Perikles has been described by Thucydides as virtually the rule or sway of one single man. It is also true that the distinction now commonly drawn between military and civil life, between the statesmanship of legislative assemblies and the tactics of commanders in war, had no existence for the countrymen of Themistokles or Timoleon. The man who had most influence in debate might be also the most successful leader in the battle-field, or, as in the case of Kleon, he might not; but there was nothing to prevent him from appearing in the character of an orator or in that of a general, and he might be called upon at any time to lay aside the former for the latter.

Download or read book Greek Lives written by Plutarch and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-11-05 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lycurgus, Pericles, Solon, Nicias, Themistocles, Alcibiades, Cimon, Agesilaus, Alexander `I treat the narrative of the Lives as a kind of mirror...The experience is like nothing so much as spending time in their company and living with them: I receive and welcome each of them in turn as my guest.' In the nine lives of this collection Plutarch introduces the reader to the major figures and periods of classical Greece. He portrays virtues to be emulated and vices to be avoided, but his purpose is also implicitly to educate and warn those in his own day who wielded power. In prose that is rich, elegant and sprinkled with learned references, he explores with an extraordinary degree of insight the interplay of character and political action. While drawing chiefly on historical sources, he brings to biography a natural story-teller's ear for a good anecdote. Throughout the ages Plutarch's Lives have been valued for their historical value and their charm. This new translation will introduce new generations to his urbane erudition. The most comprehensive selection available, it is accompanied by a lucid introduction, explanatory notes, bibliographies, maps and indexes. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Excerpt: ... aggression; for only by a direct and unsparing attack could they hope to arrest the progress of principles which, if not summarily checked, must in the end subvert the foundations of Spartan and Dorian polity. But although they were eager to strike the blow, they were not yet prepared to do so; and as, beyond all doubt, the Efforts to master-spirit in the camp of the enemy was Peribring "ooTM DEGREES kles, every effort must, in the mean season, be made of Perikies, to neutralise his influence and even to bring about B.c. 431 j DEGREESs rum an(j banishment. With the expulsion or the silencing of the great leader of the demos the old patrician party might regain its old ascendency, and the struggle with Sparta might be avoided by surrendering everything in the constitution of Athens to which Eupatrid feeling and fancy might take objection. The oligarchs of Athens and the peers of Sparta were, indeed, in hearty agreement. Perikles must be put down at all risks and all costs; and perhaps the easiest way of putting him down might be found in an appeal to the religious fears and superstitions of all ranks and classes in the state. For all practical purposes the Athenians were aware of the course which things were taking at Sparta. Their own Assembly of envoys, who happened to be present on other allies and business, were able to tell them of what had passed gnu at in the meeting of the Peloponnesian allies, in Sparta which they themselves took part. The formal congress which followed this debate sat with closed doors; but the tenor of the speeches made at the first assembly left little doubt of the issue of the second. This second council resolved on war, but no formal declaration had been sent to Athens when the first effort was made to get

Excerpt: ...political prepossessions of the judge. The impulse to side with an individual against an aggregate of citizens is both general and strong, but the fact nevertheless remains that the greatest services can confer no title on any one to break the law. It follows that the winning of the victory at Marathon could not justify Miltiades in leading his countrymen blindfolded into ruin. It is also almost beyond dispute that levity and ingratitude are not the besetting sins of democracies generally; and the Demos of Athens might far more reasonably be charged with faults of a precisely opposite nature. Again and again the Athenians brought upon themselves grave, and in some instances irremediable, disasters, because, in spite of evidence Alleged pointing to incapacity or demerit, they refused to ingratitude witi!draw the confidence bestowed on men who had of the Athenians won for themselves a fair reputation for integrity. There were, in truth, many cases in which they retained in office from this feeling men whom it was at once their interest and duty forthwith to dismiss. But when the current of opinion in a democracy is really changed, the change is likely to be avowed in vehement tones and angry language; and such language may be taken as evidence of ingratitude, when the offender (real or supposed) is a man eminent for former services. At Athens, assuredly, the dangerous tendency was rather to an uncriticising and excessive submission to the will of the popular leaders. But it is also true that the Athenians in many instances dispta_y od a disposition to shrink from responsibility, which Athenian was by no means creditable to them; and in the tol'voidre same measure they were reluctant to take to spousibiiity themselves any blame for results...
