## Description

desertcart.com: Greek Lives (Oxford World's Classics): 9780199540051: Plutarch, Robin Waterfield, Philip A. Stadter: Books

Review: Enjoyable History - I was dreading the myriad footnotes, but actually this is loads of fun to read. He’s more enjoyable than Herodotus to me, because of the succinctness of his portraits. Basically the biographies read like short stories. Also, I purchased the book used and it was in great shape(except for the inevitable sloppy stickers everywhere).
Review: Awesome reading - Excellently translated and easy to read and understand the lives of ancient Greeks. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to study antiquity
