    The Life of Aristides

    Written by Plutarch and Bernadotte Perrin

    Narrated by Andrea Giordani

    About this audiobook

    Not many of the people featured in Plutarch’s Parallel Lives series are honored with nicknames, but to his fellow Athenians, Aristides was known as “The Just”. A Grecian statesman, The Life of Aristides details the political rise of the man from the well-to-do family. From his career as Stratego, to his many statesman positions, his life ended in a mystery that is seemingly unbefitting the tale that Plutarch wove for him. Where or how he died, none know – but to Plutarch, his death mattered little next to his life.
