Plutarch's Lives, Volume Three

This is a series of four books describing 23 pairs of biographies of Noble Greeks and Romans. The go-to source for the history of the Roman Empire. Plutarch is rich in his descriptions of the people and the times. He speaks of the subject’s common moral virtues and failings rather then just an account of the history. A must read for all antiquity history buffs.

Plutarch’ Lives or Parallel Lives by Plutarch is a series of books and biographies of the Nobel Greeks and Romans first published in Rome at the beginning of the Second Century.

A Look Inside
“[The Spartans] ordered the maidens to exercise themselves with wrestling, running, throwing the quoit, and casting the dart, to the end that the fruit they conceived might, in strong and healthy bodies, take firmer root and find better growth, and withal that they, with this greater vigour, might be the more able to undergo the pains of childbearing.”

― Plutarch, Plutarch's Lives: Volume I


About the Book
Plutarch's Lives, which is also called Parallel Lives, are biographies of famous men that are put together in pairs to show how they share moral strengths or weaknesses. It was likely written at the start of the second century AD and has 23 pairs of biographies. Each pair has a Greek and a Roman figure with a similar life story, like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar or Demosthenes and Cicero. Not only is the work important because it tells us about the people who were described, but it also tells us about the times they lived in. Plutarch was more interested in capturing the moral good and undesirable characteristics of his subjects than in giving accurate historical descriptions.
