Om Phocion the Good (Routledge Revivals)
Plutarch¿s Life of Phocion has not been closely analysed since 1840. Laurence Trittle¿s study, first published in 1988, offers a new assessment of this significant and complex personality, whilst illuminating the political climate in which he thrived. He can thus now be seen in the context of fourth-century Athens: as a major political leader, a worthy opponent of Philip of Macedon, and a champion of a politics of justice rather than of the traditional politics of enmity.
