Description:
Plutarch's Lives, written at the beginning of the second century A.D., is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory.
The present translation, originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.
Plutarch (Greek: Πλούταρχος, Ploútarkhos); later named, upon becoming a Roman citizen, Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus (c. AD 46 – AD 120) was a Greek biographer and essayist, known primarily for his Parallel Lives and Moralia. He is classified as a Middle Platonist. Plutarch's surviving works were written in Greek, but intended for both Greek and Roman readers. He was born to a prominent family in Chaeronea, Boeotia, a town about twenty miles east of Delphi.
