Written around the year 100, Plutarchs Lives haveshaped perceptions of the accomplishments of the ancient Greeks and Romans for nearly two thousand years. This engaging and stimulating book introduces both general readers and students to Plutarchs own life and work.Robert Lamberton sketches the cultural context in which Plutarch workedGreece under Roman ruleand discusses his family relationships, background, education, and political career. There are two sides to Plutarch: the most widely read source on Greek and Roman history and the educator whose philosophical and pedagogical concerns are preserved in the vast collection of essays and dialogues known as the Moralia. Lambertonanalyzes these neglected writings, arguing that we must look here for Plutarchs deepest commitment as a writer and for the heart of his accomplishment. Lamberton also explores the connection between biography and historiography and shows how Plutarchs parallel biographies served the continuing process of cultural accommodation between Greeks and Romans in the Roman Empire. He concludes by discussing Plutarchs influence and reputation through the ages.
