Plutarch's Lives is a collection of lives of
fifty-three famous Greeks and Romans. Each
life consists of an account from birth to death
as well as important events that happened during
the person8217slifetime. Plutarch, the author,
draws on previous biographies of famous men,
including those by Antiphon, Philip of Thespiae,
and Phylarchus. He also uses material from his
own life as well as historical events he has seen
or heard about through others to tell the
stories.Plutarch seeks in this work to give an
interpretation that will be useful to all kinds
of readers. He includes descriptions of character
traits and moral flaws and virtues along with
details on military victories or political
struggles. His goal is for a person reading
these accounts to come away with both admiration
for great accomplishments but also a better
understanding of what makes people great leaders
and citizens.Plutarch was born in Boeotia and
spent part of his youth in Rome. He was a priest
of Apollo at Delphi and took on various
political posts, but he always considered himself
primarily a philosopher. He traveled an
incredible amount, conversing with famous people
and recording their lives and achievements. Only
his essays and works about philosophy have
survived into modern times only seven volumes of
his forty-eight historical works remain as well
as the outlines for these 16 missing books.
