My rating and this review are not of Plutarch himself, but of this English edition. As a note, OWC divides Plutarch's Lives into three editions: Greek Lives, Hellenistic Lives, and Roman Lives. This review is for OWC's Hellenistic Lives. First, Andrew Erskine writes an excellent introduction to Plutarch and the Hellenistic lives covered in this edition. He demonstrates that Plutarch wrote the Parallel Lives not to provide a true historical record of each man but to provide moral instruction from the virtues or vices each man exhibited. Second, Robin Waterfield's English translation is excellent (as it is in all of OWC's Plutarch editions). It is clear, concise, and accessible. Third, Erskine's notes are brief but provide helpful explanations of the text. However, they are end notes and not footnotes. End notes require the reader to constantly flip back-and-forth in the book. Footnotes are much preferred. Because of the use of end notes instead of footnotes, I've given this good English edition of Plutarch 4-out-of-5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/377251755-hellenistic-lives-including-alexander-the-great](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/377251755-hellenistic-lives-including-alexander-the-great) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
