Pagera Editor's Note
The Greek writer Plutarch of Chaeronea (first to second century CE) composed his Parallel Lives in pairs, matching a famous Greek with a Roman whose career seemed comparable and often closing with a short comparison of the two. This is Volume 1 of the four-volume translation by Aubrey Stewart and George Long, with a life of Plutarch, in an 1894 reprint. It contains the lives of Theseus and Romulus, Lycurgus and Numa, Solon and Publicola, Themistocles and Camillus, Pericles and Fabius Maximus, Alcibiades and Coriolanus, and Timoleon and Aemilius Paulus. Plutarch is concerned with character and moral example as much as with political history.
