Parallel Lives is a work by the Greek writer Plutarch, in which he pairs the biographies of Greek and Roman figures of similar importance, exploring their moral virtues and defects. This edition from Cátedra, in its Letras Universales collection, presents the lives of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, Pericles and Fabius Maximus, and Alcibiades and Coriolanus. Through these accounts, Plutarch offers a profound vision of history and the human condition, inviting reflection on leadership, power, and morality.
Plutarch was a Greek and later Roman Middle Platonist philosopher, historian, biographer, essayist, and priest at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. He is known primarily for his Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of illustrious Greeks and Romans, and Moralia, a collection of essays and speeches. Upon becoming a Roman citizen, he was possibly named Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus.
