Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, commonly called
Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of biographies of
famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral
virtues or failings. The surviving Parallel Lives, contain
twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one
Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives. It is
a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of
information about the individuals biographized, but also about the
times in which they lived.
