Coriolanus by William Shakespeare Loyal Books Shakespeare was passionately interested in the history of Rome, as is evident from plays like Titus Andronicus, Julius Caesar, and Antony and Cleopatra. His tragedy Coriolanus was probably written around 1605-07, and dramatizes the rise and fall of a great Roman general, Caius Martius (later surnamed Coriolanus because of his military victory at Corioli). This play is unusual in that it provides a strong voice for the ordinary citizens of Rome, who begin the play rioting about the high price of food, and who continually clash with Coriolanus because of his contempt for plebians. Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans Vol. 4 Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. The surviving lives contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives. Plutarch was not concerned with writing histories, as such, but in exploring the influence of character, good or bad, on the lives and destinies of famous men. The first pair of lives the Epaminondas-Scipio Africanus no longer exists, and many of the remaining lives are truncated, contain obvious lacunae and/or have been tampered with by later writers. In this copy-right expired 11-volume translation from the Loeb Classical library, the order of the paired lives is rearranged to present the Greek lives in chronological order. Vol 4 presents the paired lives of Alcibiades & Coriolanus, two notorious turncoats, and Lysander & Sulla, two military commanders who imposed drastic chan Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans Vol. 4 Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus Immerse yourself in the captivating realm of Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, a distinguished series that pairs the biographies of iconic figures to uncover their intertwined virtues and flaws. In this fourth volume of an 11-volume translation from the Loeb Classical Library, we explore the lives of Alcibiades and Coriolanus—two notorious turncoats—alongside Lysander and Sulla, military leaders who dramatically reshaped their nations governance. Plutarchs goal transcends mere historical recounting; he delves into how character influences destiny. Though many original texts have faced truncation and alteration over time, this edition beautifully restores their essence, presenting the Greek lives in chronological order. Discover the timeless wisdom of this classic work, thoughtfully reimagined for modern readers.
