The second of two volumes emerging from the conference focuses on the portrayal of the statesman in Greek philosopher and biographer Plutarch's (46-120 AD) Greek and Roman Lives. Some of the 25 papers, 19 in English, discuss general issues, and the others focus on either the Greek or Roman Lives. The topics include statesman and self in the Parallel Lives, trajectories of literacy, Alcibiades' military value and its relation to his doxa, the fortunate general Timoleon, whether Numa is the genuine philosopher king, the decline of the Roman Republic in Pyrrhus-Marius, Hellenism and Tryphê in the Life of Lucullus, and Athens honors Pompey the Great.
