The work consists of twenty-three paired biographies, one Greek and one Roman, and four unpaired, which explore the influence of character on the lives and destinies of important persons of Ancient Greece and Rome.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Here is "Plutarch" by Professor Robert Lamberton. Published in 2001, the book has a Preface by John Herington, and was issued by Yale University Press. This is the First Printing, Paperback Format. Excerpted from the book's blurb : "Written around the year 100, 'Plutarch's Lives' have shaped 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 Plutarch's own life and work. Robert Lamberton sketches the cultural context in which Plutarch worked - Greece under Roman rule - and 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'. Lamberton analyzes these neglected writings, arguing that we must look here for Plutarch's deepest commitment as a writer, and for the heart of his accomplishment Lamberton also explores the connection between biography and historiography and shows how Plutarch's parallel served the continuing process of cultural accommodation between Greeks and Romans in the Roman Empire. He concludes by discussing Plutarch's influence and reputation through the ages."
