The likely topic of the book revolves around the moral and character assessments of these individuals, exploring their virtues and flaws through the lens of their lives' achievements and failures. The opening of this volume begins with the "Life of Nikias," where Plutarch introduces Nikias as a complex character—a general of Athens known for his military endeavors and for his interactions with the Athenian populace.
