About the author

Plutarch was a Greek historian, biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist philosopher born around AD 46 in Chaeronea, Boeotia. He also served as a priest at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and lived during the Roman Empire.

He is best known for Parallel Lives, a series of paired biographies comparing notable Greek and Roman statesmen, generals, and leaders. Rather than simply recording events, Plutarch explored the qualities of character that shaped human lives and destinies.

Plutarch also wrote the essays and dialogues collected as the Moralia, covering subjects such as philosophy, religion, ethics, and everyday conduct. He is thought to have died after AD 119.
