Plutarch, born in the small town of Chaeronea, in the Boeotian region of Greece circa 46 AD, stands as one of antiquity's most renowned biographers and moralists. Notable of Latin name Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus, he ventured through many facets of the intellectual world, contributing heavily to biographical literature, philosophy, and ethics through his illustrious life which spanned the late 1st century and early 2nd century AD. His magnum opus, the 'Parallel Lives', a series of biographies of famous Greek and Roman men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, has been a cornerstone in the understanding of classical antiquity. This work exemplifies his literary style, which intertwines historical narrative with philosophical discourse, demonstrating not just the events of a life, but the character of the individual and their ethical framework. A master of the biographical form, Plutarch's work transcends simple historical account to probe the complexities of human behavior and morality. His influence persists, with 'Parallel Lives' being a critical source for Shakespeare and other Renaissance writers, testament to the timeless nature of his insights into the human condition.
