Synopsis

Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, commonly called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. The surviving Parallel Lives, contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives. It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals biographized, but also about the times in which they lived.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-120 CE) was a Greek biographer and Platonist philosopher whose works bridge Greek intellectual traditions and Roman political culture. His Parallel Lives shaped Renaissance humanism and influenced writers from Shakespeare to Montaigne. Through biography, Plutarch sought not merely to recount deeds but to examine the moral forces that govern them.
