Resumo

This article explores Plutarch’s contribution to our knowledge of fifth-century Athens through an examination of his biographies of Kimon, Themistokles, Perikles, Aristeides, Nikias, and Alkibiades. The article assesses the information that Plutarch conveys and, in addition, sets his work into its broader historical context through comparison with other ancient sources, and in particular with the history of Thoukydides.
