Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ...or The Heaven-City,1 a title which reads strangely in the light which the writings of Juvenal, of Tacitus, of St. Paul cast on the things which were perpetrated there. But there is as little trace in Plutarch of the one unfairness as of the other. If he loved Greece and his Greek worthies the best, Rome and her institutions, and the virtues by which she had attained to her preeminence, and the men who had helped her to this pre-eminence, filled him with a continual marvel and admiration. He had ever an open eye for her points of superiority, and was very free in acknowledging these; as, for instance, the tuXa/Stm, the reverent accuracy of the great men of Rome, and of the Romans in general, in the performance of divine offices, as set over against the comparative slovenliness and irreverence of his own countrymen, --the 1 Essays, vi. 32. G2 Athentzus, I, 36. Quotation from Dean Menvale. 85 subject being one to which he recurs again and again.1 Dean Merivale, who has excellent right to speak, has borne witness to the moral dignity of the man, the just weights and balances which, in making these comparisons, he never fails to use. It is only in part that I can quote his words: ' Throughout this long series of lives, this glittering array of virtues and vices, personal and national, there is no word, I think, of subservience or flattery, of scorn or vanity, of humiliation or triumph, to mark the position of the writer in the face of his Roman rulers. Whether we consider the book as addressed to the Greeks or to the Romans, the absence of any such indications of feeling is undoubtedly remarkable. To 1rie it seems most honourable to the one people and to the other'2--assuredly honourable above all to the writer himself. Yet with all this, it is..

Excerpt from Plutarch, His Life, His Parallel Lives, and His Morals IN preparing for the press a Lecture upon Plutarch which I delivered last year to a small Literary Society in Dublin, I was insensibly led on from one point to another, until, and I may say quite against my will and intention, that one had grown into many. I might hesitate to publish so much about one with whom everybody assumes himself familiar, were it not that, where such is indeed the fact, it is in almost every case only with his lives that this familiarity exists. The other writings of Plutarch, not unworthy of being known, are for all this so slightly known, that this little volume, more than one half of which is dedi cated to them, may, perhaps, contain enough which is not altogether old and outworn to justify its publi cation.

Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans or Parallel Lives is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, probably written at the beginning of the second century AD by Plutarch.

In the Parallel Lives Plutarch does not absolve his readers of the need for moral reflection by offering any sort of hard and fast rules for their moral judgement. Rather, he uses strategies to elicit readers’ active engagement with the act of judging. This book, drawing on the insights of recent narrative theories, especially narratology and reader-response criticism, examines Plutarch’s narrative techniques in the Parallel Lives of drawing his readers into the process of moral evaluation and exposing them to the complexities entailed in it. Subjects discussed include Plutarch’s prefatory projection of himself and his readers and the interaction between the two; Plutarch’s presentation of the mental and emotional workings of historical agents, which serves to re-enact the participants’ experience at the time and thus arouse empathy in the readers; Plutarch’s closural strategies and their profound effects on the readers’ moral inquiry; Plutarch’s principles of historical criticism in On the malice of Herodotus in relation to his narrative strategies in the Lives. Through illustrating Plutarch’s narrative technique, this book elucidates Plutarch’s praise-and-blame rhetoric in the Lives as well as his sensibility to the challenges inherent in recounting, reading about, and evaluating the lives of the great men of history.

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.
