Meanings (ES + gloss)
Alcibíades
A transliteration of the Ancient Greek male given name Ἀλκιβιάδης (Alkibiádēs), notably borne by Alcibiades (450–404 B.C.), a prominent Athenian statesman, orator, and general.
Alcibiades was a happy union of coxcomb and conqueror; but there was in him a want of that repose, and of that superb self-reliance, which characterises the Roman.
