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 comprises twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one prominent Greek and one prominent Roman of similar character, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, or Demosthenes and Cicero. It is a profoundly influential work.Plutarch’s intention was to provide moral instruction through the lives of illustrious figures. He is less concerned with strict historical accuracy than with exploring the character and virtues of his subjects. The enduring appeal of Plutarch’s Lives lies in its insightful portrayal of human nature and its continued relevance to moral and political thought.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
