1-01 Introduction.mp3

1-02 Plutarch’s desire to make his subject’s 'habit of mind understood’.mp3

1-03 Lycurgus (6th or 7th century BC).mp3

1-04 Soon after, an overture was made to him by the queen,.mp3

1-05 From Crete he sailed to Asia.mp3

1-06 Amongst the many changes and alterations which Lycurgus made.mp3

1-07 After the creation of the thirty senators.mp3

1-08 So there was now no more means of purchasing foreign goods.mp3

1-09 This last ordinance in particular exasperated the wealthier men..mp3

1-10 Lycurgus would never reduce his laws into writing.mp3

1-11 These public processions of the maidens.mp3

1-12 Lycurgus allowed a man who was advanced in years and had a young wife.mp3

1-13 After they were twelve years old.mp3

1-14 Their lovers and favourers, too, had a share in the young boy’s honour or disgrace.mp3

1-15 Nor was their instruction in music and verse.mp3

1-16 To return to the Lacedaemonians.mp3

1-17 The senate, as I said before, consisted of those who were Lycurgus's chief aiders.mp3

1-18 When he perceived that his more important institutions had taken root in the minds of his co.mp3

1-19 Themistocles (527-460 BC).mp3

1-20 It is said that Themistocles.mp3

1-21 He went beyond all men in the passion for distinction.mp3

1-22 Having taken upon himself the command of the Athenian forces.mp3

1-23 Now, though Xerxes had already passed through Doris.mp3

1-24 Eurybiades, by the reason of the greatness of Sparta.mp3

1-25 Themistocles, knowing the generosity of Aristides.mp3

2-01 After this sea-fight, Xerxes, enraged at his ill-fortune.mp3

2-02 He was, indeed, by nature, a great lover of honour.mp3

2-03 When Paiisanias went about this treasonable design.mp3

2-04 Thucydides says, that, passing over and to the Aegaean Sea.mp3

2-05 When he was introduced to the king.mp3

2-06 Themistocles replied, that a man’s discourse was like to a rich Persian carpet,.mp3

2-06 Themistocles replied, that a man’s discourse was like to a rich Persian carpet,.mp3

2-07 But when Egypt revolted, being assisted by the Athenians,.mp3

2-08 Pericles (495-429 BC).mp3

2-09 For this man, Pericles entertained an extraordinary esteem.mp3

2-10 He immediately entered.mp3

2-11 Finding himself come sort of his competitor, Cimon.mp3

2-12 Cimon, while he was admiral.mp3

2-13 Pericles on the other hand.mp3

2-14 Phidias had the oversight of all the works.mp3

2-15 At length, coming to a final contest with Thucydides.mp3

2-16 Of all his expeditions.mp3

2-17 For, in the first place, the Euboeans revolted.mp3

2-18 Pericles, however, was particularly charged with having proposed to the assembly.mp3

2-19 After this was over, the Peloponnesian war beginning.mp3

2-20 The people receiving and admitting these accusations and complaints.mp3

2-21 In the first place, the pestilential disease.mp3

2-22 Alcibiades (450-404 BC).mp3

2-23 Unawares to himself.mp3

2-24 Whilst he was very young.mp3

2-25 He had great advantages for entering public life.mp3

3-01 Alcibiades was not less disturbed at the distinctions.mp3

3-02 When they were met.mp3

3-03 After this battle at Mantinea.mp3

3-04 The truth is, his liberalities, his public shows.mp3

3-05 Together with Alcibiades.mp3

3-06 Alcibiades perceived the malice of this postponement.mp3

3-07 The information against him was conceived in this form.mp3

3-08 At Sparta, he was devoted to athletic exercises.mp3

3-09 Thus Alcibiades, quitting the interests of the Spartans.mp3

3-10 Alcibiades at once dispatched messengers to Samos.mp3

3-11 The people in the city were terrified into submission.mp3

3-12 But about thirty days after, Alcibiades escaped from his keepers.mp3

3-13 Alcibiades, as soon as he saw the torch lifted up in the air.mp3

3-14 And now Alcibiades began to desire to see his native country again.mp3

3-15 But notwithstanding the affairs of Alcibiades went so prosperously.mp3

3-16 How far his own inclinations led him to usurp sovereign power.mp3

3-17 As soon as Alcibiades heard of this.mp3

3-18 Yet in this sad state of affairs.mp3

3-19 Lysander (439-395 BC).mp3

3-20 Understanding that Cyrus, the king’s son.mp3

3-21 But to those who loved honest and noble behaviour.mp3

3-22 But on the fifth day.mp3

3-23 Lysander with his fleet passed to Asia.mp3

3-24 Lysander, after this, sails out to Thrace.mp3

3-25 This ambitious temper was indeed only burdensome to the highest personages.mp3

3-26 And having hardly and with difficulty obtained leave.mp3

4-01 When King Agis died.mp3

4-02 Immediately, therefore, Lysander spurred him on to make an expedition into Asia.mp3

4-03 Upon this he was sent ambassador to the Hellespont.mp3

4-04 And being now grown violent in his temper.mp3

4-05 Alexander (356-323 BC).mp3

4-06 The statues that gave the best representation of Alexander’s person.mp3

4-06 The statues that gave the best representation of Alexander’s person.mp3

4-07 The care of his education, as it might be presumed.mp3

4-08 After this, considering him to be of a temper easy to be led to his duty by reason.mp3

4-09 But the disorders of his family.mp3

4-10 When he came to Thebes.mp3

4-11 Then he went to Delphi.mp3

4-12 In the meantime Darius’s captains having collected large forces.mp3

4-13 This battle presently made a great change of affairs to Alexander’s advantage.mp3

4-14 Darius was by this time upon his march from Susa.mp3

4-15 There was at this time in Darius’s army a Macedonian refugee.mp3

4-16 But as he was going to supper.mp3

4-17 Alexander, that he might refresh his army.mp3

4-18 This was a long and painful, and, in two respects, a dangerous journey.mp3

4-19 Darius wrote him a letter.mp3

4-20 But to return to Alexander.mp3

4-21 His sword, which was the weapon he used most in fight.mp3

4-22 From hence he marched through the province of Babylon.mp3

4-23 What she said was received with such universal liking and murmurs of applause.mp3

4-24 But when he perceived his favourites grow so luxurious.mp3

4-25 He now, as we said, set forth to seek Darius.mp3

5-01 And now with the flower of his army he marched into Hyrcania.mp3

5-02 Apprehending the Macedonians would be weary of pursuing the war.mp3

5-03 Noticing, also, that among his chief friends and favourites.mp3

5-04 But he, for what reason is uncertain.mp3

5-05 The king had a present of Grecian fruit brought him.mp3

5-06 ''We are sufficiently punished already''.mp3

5-07 Upon this, at last, Alexander, snatching a spear from one of the soldiers.mp3

5-08 Alexander now intent upon his expedition into India.mp3

5-09 Nor did they judge amiss.mp3

5-10 This discourse pleased Alexander.mp3

5-11 Almost all the historians agree.mp3

5-12 Alexander was now eager to see the ocean.mp3

5-13 His voyage down the rivers took up seven months’ time.mp3

5-13 His voyage down the rivers took up seven months’ time.mp3

5-14 At Gedrosia, his admiral, Nearchus.mp3

5-15 The thirty thousand boys whom he left behind him to be taught.mp3

5-16 As he was upon his way to Babylon.mp3

5-17 But the journals give the following record.mp3

5-18 Demosthenes (384-322 BC).mp3

5-19 As soon, therefore, as he was grown up to man’s estate.mp3

5-19 As soon, therefore, as he was grown up to man’s estate.mp3

5-20 Whence then, may some say.mp3

5-21 However, finding it a hard matter.mp3

5-22 It was evident.mp3

5-23 But there was, it should seem.mp3

6-01 Demosthenes had secret intelligence of the death of Philip.mp3

6-02 It was not long after that Harpalus fled from Alexander.mp3

6-03 Demosthenes resisted the inquisition.mp3

6-04 Yet it was no long time that he enjoyed his country after his return.mp3

6-05 Pyrrhus (319-272 BC).mp3

6-06 When he was twelve years old.mp3

6-07 From this time he began to revolve many and vast projects in his thoughts.mp3

6-08 After this battle, Pyrrhus.mp3

6-09 But Lysimachus now arriving, and claiming the defeat of Demetrius.mp3

6-10 There was one Cineas, a Thessalian.mp3

6-11 And first, he sent away Cineas to the Tarentines.mp3

6-12 He now received intelligence that Laevinus.mp3

6-13 This made Pyrrhus use greater caution.mp3

6-14 Then Caius Fabricius came in embassy from the Romans.mp3

6-15 The Romans, not having those advantages of retreating.mp3

6-16 And being elevated with his good fortune.mp3

6-17 He divided his army into two parts.mp3

6-18 His affairs being yet unsettled.mp3

6-19 Pyrrhus himself, in person.mp3

6-20 Pyrrhus, upon the coming of these additional forces.mp3

6-21 In the dead of the night.mp3

6-22 Pyrrhus, seeing this storm and confusion of things.mp3
