Plutarch, 46-120？

Plutarch (c. 46–120?), a Greek biographer and essayist of antiquity, has limited publicly available biographical details, and his exact dates and nationality are not clearly recorded in the library's data. Among his surviving works, the most famous is Parallel Lives (also known as the Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans). The library holds 13 related works, including several volumes of the Greek text Πλουτάρχου Βίοι Παράλληλοι and English editions of Plutarch's Lives, Volumes 1 through 4, as well as Plutarch: Lives of the noble Grecians and Romans. These works present paired comparisons of distinguished Greek and Roman figures, combining historical value with moral reflection. Written in a relaxed style and notable for anecdotes and character portrayal, they have had a lasting influence on later Western biography and historical writing.
