Autorenporträt
Plutarch (c. 46-120 AD) was a prominent Greek historian, biographer, and philosopher. Born in Chaeronea, Greece, Plutarch dedicated his life to studying and documenting the lives of notable figures from both Greek and Roman history. Plutarch's approach to biography was distinctive. Instead of providing a strictly chronological account of events, he focused on the moral and ethical dimensions of his subjects. He aimed to draw lessons and insights from their lives, emphasizing the importance of virtuous behavior, leadership, and character. His writings had a significant influence on subsequent generations of historians and philosophers. Plutarch's emphasis on the impact of character on historical events, his exploration of moral virtues, and his engaging storytelling style continue to make his works relevant and engaging for readers interested in ancient history and the complexities of human nature.¿
