Nascido das mais ilustres famílias atenienses em 451 a. C., dotado de inteligência, beleza, capacidade de sedução e dotes oratórios, além de um sentido estratégico apurado, Alcibíades veio a morrer, fora da pátria e acossado por várias facções, em 404 a. C. Quanto ao enredo que dá forma à história de Coriolano, é supostamente passado em 493 a.C. - Gaio Márcio é um general romano que se opõe às reformas que, em Roma, tentam favorecer a plebe. Márcio acaba por ser banido da sua própria cidade, para se aliar aos Volscos, povo inimigo da Urbe. Ao pôr em paralelo o percurso biográfico de Alcibíades e de Coriolano, Plutarco escolheu duas figuras de contextos históricos não muito similares. Alcibíades pertence ao contexto de uma democracia em crise, numa Hélade em vésperas de se lançar na Guerra do Peloponeso. Coriolano pertence aos primórdios da República romana. Se a figura do primeiro tem contornos históricos, a do segundo debate-se entre a História e os contornos lendários.

En s'appuyant sur les textes littéraires, et en laissant percevoir les rapports qui existent avec notre temps, cet ouvrage raconte la vie d'Alcibiade, ce jeune noble athénien qui fut pupille de Périclès et proche de Socrate, dont la vie fut brève et fracassante, intéressant également l'histoire politique.

This biography of Alcibiades, the charismatic Athenian statesman and general (c. 450-404 BC) who achieved both renown and infamy during the Peloponnesian War, is both an extraordinary adventure story and a cautionary tale that reveals the dangers that political opportunism and demagoguery pose to democracy. As Jacqueline de Romilly brilliantly documents, Alcibiades's life is one of wanderings and vicissitudes, promises and disappointments, brilliant successes and ruinous defeats. Born into a wealthy and powerful family in Athens, Alcibiades was a student of Socrates and disciple of Pericles, and he seemed destined to dominate the political life of his city-and his tumultuous age.Romilly shows, however, that he was too ambitious. Haunted by financial and sexual intrigues and political plots, Alcibiades was exiled from Athens, sentenced to death, recalled to his homeland, only to be exiled again. He defected from Athens to Sparta and from Sparta to Persia and then from Persia back to Athens, buffeted by scandal after scandal, most of them of his own making. A gifted demagogue and, according to his contemporaries, more handsome than the hero Achilles, Alcibiades is also a strikingly modern figure, whose seductive celebrity and dangerous ambition anticipated current crises of leadership.

Wie die meisten unechten platonischen Schriften ist der Alkibiades II unzureichend erforscht. Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen zum pseudoplatonischen Alkibiades II enthalten umfangreiche Quellenforschungen, durch die die philosophischen Vorstellungen, die dem Werk zugrunde liegen, als die des Antisthenes erwiesen werden. Dabei werden neben den Memorabilien weitere philosophische Schriften des Xenophon und andere pseudoplatonische Dialoge in den Blick genommen, die in einzelnen Abschnitten dieselben Quellen wie der Alkibiades II zu verwenden scheinen. Im Alkibiades II werden einerseits Schriften des 4. Jh. v. Chr. (Platon, Antisthenes) als Quellen verwandt, andererseits wird gegen die Stoa des Zenon von Kition und den Peripatos der damaligen Zeit als zeitgenössische philosophische Konkurrenten polemisiert. Der pseudoplatonische Dialog ordnet sich auf Grund seiner Polemik und seines spezifischen Umgangs mit der philosophischen Protreptik in die Akademie z.Zt. des Polemon ein. Anhand seiner Struktur wird das Werk als ein sokratischer Alkibiades-Dialog verstanden. So ist sein Titel "Alkibiades" erklärbar.

Alcibiades was one of the most dazzling figures of the Golden Age of Athens. A ward of Pericles and a friend of Socrates, he was spectacularly rich, bewitchingly handsome and charismatic, a skilled general, and a ruthless politician. He was also a serial traitor, infamous for his dizzying changes of loyalty in the Peloponnesian War. Nemesis tells the story of this extraordinary life and the turbulent world that Alcibiades set out to conquer. David Stuttard recreates ancient Athens at the height of its glory as he follows Alcibiades from childhood to political power. Outraged by Alcibiades's celebrity lifestyle, his enemies sought every chance to undermine him. Eventually, facing a capital charge of impiety, Alcibiades escaped to the enemy, Sparta. There he traded military intelligence for safety until, suspected of seducing a Spartan queen, he was forced to flee again--this time to Greece's long-term foes, the Persians. Miraculously, though, he engineered a recall to Athens as Supreme Commander, but--suffering a reversal--he took flight to Thrace, where he lived as a warlord. At last in Anatolia, tracked by his enemies, he died naked and alone in a hail of arrows. As he follows Alcibiades's journeys crisscrossing the Mediterranean from mainland Greece to Syracuse, Sardis, and Byzantium, Stuttard weaves together the threads of Alcibiades's adventures against a backdrop of cultural splendor and international chaos. Navigating often contradictory evidence, Nemesis provides a coherent and spellbinding account of a life that has gripped historians, storytellers, and artists for more than 2,000 years.--
