Bringing together nine biographies from Plutarch's Parallel Lives series, this edition examines the lives of major figures in Roman history, from Lucullus (118-57 BC), an aristocratic politician and conqueror of Eastern kingdoms, to Otho (32-69 AD), a reckless young noble who consorted with the tyrannical, debauched emperor Nero before briefly becoming a dignified and gracious emperor himself. Ian Scott-Kilvert's and Christopher Pelling's translations are accompanied by a new introduction, and also includes a separate introduction for each biography, comparative essays of the major figures, suggested further reading, notes and maps.

Plutarch's Lives, written at the beginning of the second century A.D., is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory. Richly anecdotal and full of detail, Volume I contains profiles and comparisons of Romulus and Theseus, Numa and Lycurgus, Fabius and Pericles, and many more powerful figures of ancient Greece and Rome. The present translation, originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.

Plutarch's Lives, Volume 3 (of 4) is a timeless classic that offers a detailed account of the lives of famous Greeks and Romans, exploring their character, virtues, and vices. Plutarch's narrative style combines biography with moral philosophy, providing readers with valuable insights into the past. The book's literary context lies in the tradition of ancient biographies, focusing on portraying the moral virtues and flaws of its subjects. Plutarch's use of parallel lives allows readers to compare and contrast the personalities of notable figures such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, enhancing the reader's understanding of history and human nature. Plutarch, a Greek historian and biographer, was renowned for his meticulous research and philosophical reflections on the lives of great men. His deep understanding of human nature and commitment to moral education are evident in Plutarch's Lives. It is believed that Plutarch wrote these biographies to inspire readers to emulate the virtues of the illustrious figures he portrayed. I recommend Plutarch's Lives, Volume 3 (of 4) to readers interested in classical literature, history, and philosophy. This book provides a unique perspective on the lives of influential individuals, shedding light on the complexities of human character and the enduring relevance of moral virtue.
