Works of Plutarch

Plutarch

Plutarch is one of the great Latin philosophers. He lived from 45 to 125 AD and was widely traveled in the Roman world. In his lifetime, unsurprisingly, he was highly regarded for his Lives. Unlike most of his contemporaries and predecessors, Plutarch did research in the Imperial libraries and records as well as interviews of persons to gather information to share in his biographies. That isn’t to say they are historically "accurate" (if there is such a thing). Rather, many historians believe he is attempting to demonstrate that good morals lead to good leadership and bad morals leads to failure. But the reader will have to determine if the modern historians are correct. For more, see: Persius Encyclopedia: Plutarch.
