Plutarch created 'Plutarch’s Lives,' a collection of biographies, in the first century AD. For instance, biographies of well-known Greek and Roman individuals are grouped together depending on how their lives differ, such as Demosthenes and Cicero or Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. The book’s main objective is to examine these great people’s moral character and qualities via their history. According to Plutarch, examining the lives of these people might provide important light on morals, leadership, and the characteristics of a good person. The bios seek to combine truth and mythology in order to capture the essence of each person’s personality and character rather than being just factual descriptions. Plutarch highlights the importance of looking at a person’s whole life rather than just their successes or failures in isolation. Overall, 'Plutarch’s Lives' is a great book that never fails to move readers with its understanding of human nature, emphasis on leadership, and stress on the qualities that set a moral person apart.
