Plutarch: Lives in Parallel - Topic 8.1: Conquest and Monarchy

ALEXANDER & CAESAR
The pair of Chapter 8 is Plutarch's most famous and most demanding.

Alexander of Macedon and Julius Caesar of Rome are the two most famous men in Western history.
Each, in his own world, was a conqueror who shattered the political form he inherited; each turned a republic (or its functional equivalent) into a personal empire; each died short of fifty, one in his bed of fever, the other on the floor of the Roman Senate.

Key topics covered:
- What the loss means
- the crossings
- ambivalent
