This publication contains all the biographies that have survived to our time (46 paired biographies and 4 separate biographies), emerging from under the pen of the great ancient Greek philosopher, historian and moralist Plutarch from Heronea (c. 46 - c. 127) "Comparative biographies" are biographies of the great heroes of antiquity, a kind of majestic "portrait gallery" of the famous Greeks and Romans.
Before Plutarch, historians of Greece and Rome, composing the biography of a historical figure, sought to simply chronologically state the main events of his life. Plutarch managed to avoid the pile of incoherent stories, focusing on an understanding of the image of the thoughts and character of a person.
For students of philosophical, political science, historical, philological, cultural specialties and all those interested in the history of the ancient world
