Status Updates From The Rise and Fall of Athens...

The first three biographies in this collection have pretty well hit the archetypes of semi-mythical hero, wise lawgiver and confident, brash general. Pretty entertaining read so far; I’m mainly reading this so I know at least a bit about a few of the main characters in the Peloponnesian War before I tackle Thucydides.

I've stalled, and not sure I will finish.

I'm trying! really trying to get into the hype of Greek history, myth, stories... I just think this is not the period of history for me.

Trying to make myself interested in ancient Greece! Haven't been successsful so far, will a non fiction original source work better?

Honestly these are fascinating to read, just comparing each life to each other as well as other ancient figures that I'm knowledgable about (ngl mostly Alexander) is very interesting. Although I fear I won't be able to remember the details of who is who... maybe I'll make a brief summary note of each
