Genre: History

Famous Greeks is an introduction to Greek history through the lives of the great individuals who made that history. From the heroes of the Trojan War to Alexander the Great and Cleopatra, we will examine the lives, achievements, and influence of seminal figures in the history of Greece warriors, statesmen, thinkers, and artists. Our biographies will draw on the most current historical, archaeological, and literary scholarship, but our model in this endeavor will be a Greek himself, Plutarch (46-120 A.D.). In the heyday of the Roman Empire, with the glory days of Greece long gone, Plutarch composed his Lives of the Famous Greeks and Romans. He believed that the study of such lives makes us better as individuals and as citizens. For nineteen centuries, readers have agreed. Harry Truman, among many others, spoke of the practical political wisdom he gained from Plutarch’s Lives. This is also true of the founders of the United States. For Harvard graduates like John Adams and self-taught men like Benjamin Franklin, Plutarch’s Lives was a repository of wisdom, of virtues to be emulated, and of vices to be avoided. In fact, the Founders voiced the still excellent idea that a copy of Plutarch’s Lives be placed in every school in the country. Each of our lectures will draw lessons from the lives we study.
