About The Author
Plutarch
Plutarch lived from c.45 to c.120 AD, and was one of the last of the classical Greek historians. His Moralia consists of his philosophical, scientific and literary essays and dialogues. He wrote his historical works later in life, and his Parallel Lives of eminent Greeks and Romans is perhaps his best-known and most influential work.
