Nemesis  -  David Stuttard

Alcibiades and the Fall of Athens

KORTE INHOUD

Alcibiades was one of the most dazzling figures of the Golden Age of Athens. A ward of Pericles and a friend of Socrates, he was spectacularly rich, bewitchingly handsome and charismatic, a skilled general, and a ruthless politician.
