A student of Pericles, a friend of the Sophists, and a protégé of Socrates, Alcibiades was destined for a career full of honor, success, and glory. It was marked by scandals, manipulation, and other betrayals that destroyed his popularity, his life, and, above all, Athenian democracy .
Alcibiades was handsome, wealthy, and intelligent. His ambition knew no bounds. From Athens to Sparta, via Persia, he was at the center of political life at the end of the 5th century BC. In an elegant and clear style, Jacqueline de Romilly recounts the adventures of her ambitious, seductive, and opportunistic hero, and unravels the astonishing intrigues that punctuated his brief political career.
