Alcibiades (ca. 450 BC-ca. 404 BC) was the charismatic and controversial Athenian general and politician who promoted the Peloponnesian war against rival Sparta, who subsequently inspired Athens?s failed Sicilian Expedition, and who later allied himself with two of Athens?s biggest enemies: Sparta and Persia. His actions gravely affected the future of Athens and his motives and reasons for acting as he did are indeed the stuff of fascinating biography. Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was a prolific and much-loved English novelist, biographer and short story writer. He was educated at Marlborough College and King’s College, Cambridge. Benson is most famous for a series of comic novels he published during the 1920s and 1930s--''Mapp and Lucia''. Benson was awarded an OBE and was made an Honorary Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford.Revised, with Introduction, by Dr Craig Paterson. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
