Plutarch was a highly educated individual with knowledge of literature, math, and philosophy.

Among his works, "Parallel Lives" stands out as his most popular publication, offering a compilation of biographies contrasting celebrated individuals of Greek and Roman heritage. Plutarch's writing talents were revered for their profoundness, clarity, and their ability to comprehend human nature. Plutarch held the firm belief that history can provide moral lessons, and his written works focused heavily on examining the admirable and objectionable traits of historical figures. Alongside his renowned "Parallel Lives," his "Essays and Miscellanies" offer a diverse range of his writing, which serve as proof of his extensive knowledge and expertise. To this day, Plutarch's writing continues to be respected and studied by both scholars and general readers, marking him as a significant figure in literature.
