Plutarch sought to explore the characters and personalities of great men, to see how individual natures led ultimately to tragedy or victory. This selection from Plutarch's massive work profiles five Greeks and five Romans. The translation used here is by an unknown writer, but was associated with John...

A Roman historian of Greek descent, Appian was born in Alexandria (c. 95), received a formal education and later moved to Rome to serve as a barrister (c. 120). He was eventually presented with the title of procurator under Antoninus Pius, which allowed him to spend time on his «Historia Romana». The collection totaled 24 books written in Greek dialect, of which, unfortunately, only about half have survived, either complete or in large fragments. Beginning with Appian's own preface, the...

Henry Adams (1838-1918), grandson of President John Quincy Adams and great-grandson of President John Adams, was a journalist, historian and novelist who, in 1919, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his autobiography «The Education of Henry Adams». One of his less well-known, but equally brilliant, novels was privately published in 1904: «Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres». American architect Ralph Adams Cram pushed for the public release of the novel in 1913, with the support of the American...

One of the more important works of the ancient Greek writer, soldier, and historian Xenophon, «Hellenica» is essentially a history of Greek occurrences from 411 to 362 BCE. It continues a similar account begun by Thucydides to detail the events of the Peloponnesian War. Xenophon is the principal source for today's historians on the last seven years of this war, including the Battle of Mantineia, as well as the war's aftermath. Written during Xenophon's retirement on his estate in...

A Roman historian of Greek origin, Appian began writing his «Roman History» during the second century AD. Of the original twenty-four books only sections from half of these remain. Most importantly among these are books thirteen through seventeen, or the books that detail «The Civil Wars,» which stand out as the most comprehensive historical account of this period of Roman history. «The Civil Wars» covers the period from 133 to 70 BC, a tumultuous time in the history of Rome which we see the...

Ancient Roman senator and historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus is known throughout Western history as one of the greatest historical writers of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He lived during the first century AD and was the son of a wealthy aristocratic family. Not much is known about his personal life; however, it is clear that both Tacitus and Pliny the Elder were acquaintances and even possibly childhood friends, though there is no substantial evidence to support this. Tacitus studied...

Although he was a poet in the 14th century, French writer Jean Froissart is best known for his historical work «Chronicles.» In the work, he explained the events leading up to the Hundred Years' War, and then detailed the battles, strategies, and key figures for the first fifty years of the war. «Chronicles» provides an excellent glimpse into Renaissance history and politics, as well as providing the opinion of a Frenchman on the war itself. Because it is one man's opinion, historians...

Titus Livius (59 BCE – 17 CE), known as Livy, was a Roman teacher, writer and historian, and friend of the Emperor Augustus. Livy was a teenager during the time of civil wars throughout the Roman world, was educated in philosophy and rhetoric, and moved to Rome sometime in the 30s BC. After working as a teacher of rhetoric, he decided to forego teaching and write a history of the city. Using only traditions, official temple annals (which weren't entirely reliable) and personal records of...

While not as famous as Tacitus's «Annals» or «Histories», «The Agricola and The Germania» still remain...

Володимир Мономах (1053–1125 рр.) – знакова постать українського середньовіччя. Онук Ярослава Мудрого та візантійського імператора Константина IХ Мономаха ще задовго до сходження на київський престол зажив слави боронителя Руської землі, завдаючи нищівних ударів половецьким ордам, а ставши великим князем, поклав край їхнім руйнівним набігам. Його талант миротворця і державника повною мірою проявився після утвердження на київському престолі: владнання міжкнязівських чвар зумовило об’єднання...

«Выбрал свой путь – иди по нему до конца», «Ради великой цели никакие жертвы не покажутся слишком большими», «Совесть – жидовская выдумка, что-то вроде обрезания», «Будущее принадлежит нам!» – так говорил Адольф Гитлер, величайший злодей и главная загадка XX века. И разгадать ее можно лишь отказавшись от пропагандистских мифов, до сих пор представляющих фюрера Третьего Рейха не просто исчадием ада, а бесноватым ничтожеством. Однако будь он бездарным крикуном – разве удалось бы ему в кратчайшие...

К концу XIII века на северо-востоке Руси образовалось два весьма мощных и богатых уделов Великого княжества Владимирского – Тверское и Московское княжества, которые составили конкурентную пару за господство в землях Владимирского Великого княжества и роль собирателя Русских земель. И это противостояние затянулось на несколько десятилетий. Только в 1384 г. хан Тохтамыш признал за московским князем Дмитрием Ивановичем (Донским) наследственное владение на Великое княжество Владимирское и...

Целых полвека эта информация была главной тайной СССР. Полвека советская пропаганда отрицала тот факт, что в 1939 году Сталин заключил с Гитлером не просто пакт о ненападении, а секретное соглашение о разделе Европы. До сих пор кремлевский официоз отказывается признать, что в развязывании Второй Мировой войны виноват не один, а оба агрессора и что этот сговор диктаторов, этот постыдный союз звезды со свастикой заслуживает осуждения международным трибуналом не меньше, чем военные преступления...
