Haven't read Thucydides yet, but some of the reasons listed for reading him, seems to fit as well to Plutarch also. I think there may be more variety in Plutarch though, because he wrote about a more wider variety of people and things.
- scandox 8y agoThere's a world of difference. Plutarch is - as an old friend of mine once said - "an old club bore telling rambling anecdotes about famous men". Thucydides work is incisive and focused. Both are enjoyable though.
