About the author

Plutarch (c. 46–after 119) lived in the small town of Chaeronea in Greece and served as a priest at the oracle of Delphi. He was a philosopher, a teacher and a tireless writer who knew the Roman elite of his day while remaining devoted to his home town.

His Parallel Lives pair famous Greeks and Romans, Alexander and Caesar, Demosthenes and Cicero, to compare their characters, and his many essays on morals cover everything from anger to the education of children. Shakespeare took the plot of Julius Caesar from Plutarch, as did many writers after him.
