By bukhtan (Chicago, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alcibiades (Classical Lives) (Hardcover)
This is the up-to-date scholarly treatment of Alcibiades, an aristocratic rogue widely considered a traitor by the democrats of Athens. His prettiness and flim-flammery were highly attractive to certain elements less committed people's justice. This is the most readable account since Plato, and quite a bit more truthful.
