Plutarch’s Life Of Themistokles is a historical biography of the famous Athenian general and statesman, Themistokles. Originally written in Greek by Plutarch, a prominent historian and biographer in ancient Greece, this edition was translated into English in 1881. The book covers the life of Themistokles, from his early years as a politician in Athens to his rise to power as a military leader during the Persian Wars. It explores his role in the Battle of Marathon, his efforts to build up the Athenian navy, and his leadership during the Battle of Salamis, which was a decisive victory for the Greeks against the Persians. The book also delves into Themistokles’ downfall, as he was eventually exiled from Athens and forced to seek refuge with the Persians. Plutarch’s Life Of Themistokles is a fascinating look at one of the most important figures in ancient Greek history, and provides valuable insights into the politics and warfare of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
