This is a reprint of a book first published in 1966. It includes translations of the following lives from Plutarch's collection:

Greek: Lycurgus, Aristides, Cimon, Pericles, Alcibiades, Alexander

Roman: Coriolanus, Marcus Cato, The Gracchi, Cicero, Caesar, Antony

While these have been adapted for easier reading, they are still challenging and engaging for the 7th-12th grade reader.
