I happened to read Thucydides first, and found that I got more out of many Plutarch biographies by virtue of bringing some context for many of the figures to the reading of their biographies.
I highly recommend the Landmark Thucydides. I didn't find this a "slog" by any means. It is still one of my favorites.
