About this audiobook
The Life of Demetrius is only one of the many biographies documented in Plutarch’s Parallel Lives. Young when he came to rule, Demetrius was only 22 when he was given defense of Syria by his father. After a series of military failures and wins, he moved to Athens and attempted to free the city a number of times. Eventually after a successful rule of Macedonia, things took a downward turn for Demetrius.
