Plutarch: Demosthenes and Cicero - Lintott, Andrew (Emeritus Fellow, Worcester College, Oxford)

Plutarch's Lives of Demosthenes and Cicero are an unusual pair in that they are about orators and not military men. With the translations and commentaries, Lintott provides a detailed introduction which discusses the context of the texts, the author, and the philosophy which underlies Plutarch's presentation of the two personalities.
