Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Plutarch's Pragmatic Biographies, Susan Jacobs argues for a major revision in how we interpret the Parallel Lives. She integrates the existing focus on moral issues into the much broader paradigm of effective leadership found in Plutarch's Moralia. There, in addition to moral virtue, the successful leader needed good critical judgment, persuasiveness and facility in managing alliances and rivalries. The analysis of six sets of Lives shows how Plutarch carefully portrayed Greek and Roman leaders of the past assessing situations and solving problems that paralleled those faced by his politically-active audience. By linking victories and defeats to specific strategic insights and practical skills, Plutarch created "pragmatic biographies" that could instruct statesmen and generals of every era.

Book excerpt: Comparative biographies of distinguished Greeks and Romans. Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. AD 45-120, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the forty-six Parallel Lives, biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers, and orators. Plutarch's many other varied extant works, about sixty in number, are known as Moralia or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics, and religion. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the Lives is in eleven volumes.

Book excerpt: Plutarch created "Plutarch's Lives," a collection of biographies, in the first century AD. For instance, biographies of well-known Greek and Roman individuals are grouped together depending on how their lives differ, such as Demosthenes and Cicero or Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. The book's main objective is to examine these great people's moral character and qualities via their history. According to Plutarch, examining the lives of these people might provide important light on morals, leadership, and the characteristics of a good person. The bios seek to combine truth and mythology in order to capture the essence of each person's personality and character rather than being just factual descriptions. Plutarch highlights the importance of looking at a person's whole life rather than just their successes or failures in isolation. Overall, "Plutarch's Lives" is a great book that never fails to move readers with its understanding of human nature, emphasis on leadership, and stress on the qualities that set a moral person apart.
