PLUTARCH (Plutarchus, c. A.D. 45-
120, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia
in central Greece, studied philosophy at
Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a
teacher in philosophy, was given consular
rankbytheemperorTrajanandaprocura-
torship in Greece by Hadrian. iMarried
and father ofone daughter and four sons,
he appears as a man of kindly character
and independent thought. Studious and
learned, hewroteon many subjects. Most
popular have always been the 46 Parallel
Lives, biographies planned to be ethical
examples in pairs (in each pair one Greek
person and one similar Roman), though
the last four lives are single. All are in-
valuable sources ofour knowledge ofthe
lives and characters of Greek and Roman
statesmenorsoldiersororators. Plutarch's
many other varied extant works, about
60 in number, are known as 'Moral
Essays' or 'Moral Works'. They are of
high literary value, besides being ol groat
use to people interested in philosophy,
ethicsandreligion.
