'Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans Vol. 2' Summary
This volume of Plutarch's *Parallel Lives* presents a comparative study of three pairs of prominent figures from ancient Greece and Rome: Themistocles and Camillus, Aristides and Cato the Elder, and Cimon and Lucullus. Plutarch, a Greek biographer and essayist, aimed to explore the influence of character on the lives and destinies of these historical figures.
