This epic chronicle by Plutarch (A.D. 46-120) continues with the lives of great Grecians and Romans. These biographies of the men who created the ancient world are brought to life in this new, high-quality recording. Legends such as Caesar, Alexander, Cicero, Demosthenes, and many others come alive as their politics, economy, and their individual stories play out in the time of the ancients. This translation is by John Dryden and is considered by scholars to be the quintessential translation.

Now halfway thru this second volume after consuming the first by this same narrator who is easy on the ears and differentiates moods and emphases. Plutarch amazingly doesn’t age and Dryden did us all a big favor for the ages to turn his Latin into such lucid language. Yes the stories can echo each other but this is the historical ambience. Highly recommended for the insights and information on our ancestors.

Very rewarding listen

Narration was excellent and for the most part unemotional. This is the original “blood & guts” text spawning all literature and fiction.

Great translation! Colorful era

It took me 3 months but worth it. Enjoyed narrator's occasional substitution of key words.

1300 pages mostly well read

I listen to both volumes. After a while the stories just blended together—He lived, he fought, he died of his wounds. I did appreciate the comparisons. Mostly I was overwhelmed by the sheer length of the total work. Great if you are a student of ancient history. I chose the book because it was source material for so many classic writers, Shakespeare being foremost among them.

Too Long and Somewhat Redundant
