About the Book

This eBook features the complete works or Plutarch, with numerous illustrations, informative s and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Plutarch (c. 46 – c. 120 CE) was a Greek biographer and essayist known primarily for his Parallel Lives, a series of comparative biographies of famous Greeks and Romans. He was a priest of Apollo at the Oracle of Delphi, and his writings reflect his deep knowledge of both Greek and Roman history, philosophy, and religion.

Plutarch's Parallel Lives is one of the most important works of ancient literature. It consists of 46 biographies of famous Greeks and Romans, arranged in pairs according to their similarities or contrasts. The biographies are full of fascinating anecdotes and historical details, and they provide a valuable insight into the lives and times of some of the most important figures in history.

In addition to the Parallel Lives, Plutarch also wrote a number of other works, including essays on moral philosophy, religion, and politics. These essays are collected in the Moralia, which is a valuable source of information about Greek and Roman thought and culture.

Plutarch's writings are still widely read and studied today. They are a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient history, literature, or philosophy.
