June 13– Aristides from Plutarch’s Lives translated by John Dryden and “corrected” by Arthur Hugh Clough

Summary: Dude gets banished, then gets unbanished to help fight the Persians.

Commentary: The readings have been hard to follow this week. I feel like that's normal for the Plutarchs. They're just these weird, rambly biographies that jump all around.

  And, showing the sun to those who came from Mardonius, "as long as

  that retains the same course, so long," said he, "shall the citizens

  of Athens wage war with the Persians for the country which has been

  wasted, and the temples that have been profaned and burnt by them."

Frank Miller should've found a way to work that into 300.
