Kirk and I recap what Plutarch wrote about Alexander the Great. In this second century text, Plutarch, 'one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time', summarizes the lives of prominent Greek and Romans through his second century text, Plutarch's Lives.  With this discussion, Kirk and I stumble around Plutarch's biography of Alexander and ponder his life's moments outside the details of his conquest.  The goal of this discussion is to encourage our BAMF listener to read about Alexander's life and check out the other biographies in Plutarch's Lives.  This book edition 'originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.'

Dryden, John. Plutarch's Lives. United Kingdom, Modern Library, 2001.
