Book Synopsis

Plutarch’s Complete Works consist mainly of Parallel Lives and Moralia, offering insights into history, philosophy, and ethics. Parallel Lives pairs biographies of Greek and Roman figures, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, highlighting their virtues, flaws, and leadership styles. These biographies provide historical narratives and moral lessons, emphasizing character over events. Moralia is a vast collection of essays and dialogues on topics like politics, religion, education, and personal virtue, reflecting Plutarch’s deep philosophical influences, particularly from Plato and Aristotle. His works, written in elegant Greek, have profoundly influenced Western thought, inspiring Renaissance humanists and historians. His blend of history, philosophy, and biography makes him one of antiquity’s most significant literary figures.
