Coriolanus (play)

Coriolanus is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, based on the life of the legendary Roman leader. This is one of Shakespeare's later plays, appearing circa 1607, following on the heels of landmark tragedies such as King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. Shakespeare's play was largely based on the Life of Coriolanus as it was described in Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans. The tragic hero is Caius Martius Coriolanus, a Roman soldier.
