Plutarch's Lives, Volume 1 (of 4) by Plutarch
"Plutarch's Lives, Volume 1 (of 4)" by Plutarch is a series of biographies written in Greek probably at the beginning of the second century. This monumental work pairs the lives of famous Greeks and Romans to reveal their shared moral virtues and failings. Through 23 paired biographies—matching figures like Alexander the Great with Julius Caesar—Plutarch explores how character shapes destiny. Rather than pure history, these literary portraits examine the psychological and moral
motivations behind greatness, encouraging readers to reflect on virtue, vice, and human nature itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
