His family, originally from Thebes, had long enjoyed local distinction, a tradition he was to maintain in a life full of civic accomplishments. He founded a school of philosophy, served as Archon of Chaeronea, and eventually officiated as a priest of Apollo at Delphi. Only a few details of his life can be gleaned from his writings. At the time of Emperor Nero's visit to Greece in A.D. 66, Plutarch was by his own account a student of philosophy at Athens under the teacher Ammonius. As an exponent of Platonism, he vigorously attacked the positions of the Stoics and Epicureans. He was married and had at least five children. Plutarch spent some part of his career in Italy, although he describes his experiences there only in passing; for example, in a discussion about his knowledge of Latin writers in his life of Demosthenes, he says that 'having had no leisure, while I was in Rome and other parts of Italy, to exercise myself in the Roman language, on account of public business and of those who came to be instructed by me in philosophy, it was very late, and in the decline of my age, before I applied myself to the reading of Latin authors.' He traveled in Egypt as well. He was a prolific writer in a variety of genres; his surviving work (representing perhaps half of what he wrote) fills a dozen volumes. In addition to the

Der griechische Philosoph und Schriftsteller Plutarchos entstammte einer angesehenen Familie aus Chaironeia, war Mitglied der platonischen Akademie und unternahm zahlreiche Reisen. Die Kaiser Trajan und Hadrian gehörten zu seinem Bekanntenkreis. Er lebte um bis nach Christus. Neben zahlreichen anderen, größtenteils verlorenen Schriften sind seine vergleichenden Lebensbeschreibungen großer Griechen und Römer die bekanntesten. Sie zeichnen sich durch ihre Farbigkeit und Dramatik aus und verbinden Anekdotisches mit Moralischem. Ihre Wirkung auf die Nachwelt ist unübersehbar. So benutzte Shakespeare sie als Quelle für seine Römer-Dramen.

    http://www.ucalgary.ca/~vandersp/Courses/texts/plutarch/plutaris.html
    
    Extractions: 530?-468? B.C. translated by John Dryden Introductory Note Plutarch of Chaeronea (2nd half of the first century A.D.) lived much later than the events he wrote about in this biography, but he clearly had access to many sources which no longer survive in the present day. For the most part, he was a philosopher rather than an historian, interested primarily in the characters of his subjects; the name given to a large corpus of his philosphical works, the Moralia , is a further indication of his penchant for considerations of ethics and proper behaviour. Plutarch's accuracy on historical matters is a matter of dispute among historians, but he is reasonably reliable. The translation offered here may well seem archaic at points, but this should not pose serious problems most of the time, and it is not unpleasant to read Dryden's poetic translations of the poetry cited with some frequency by Plutarch. The electronic text version of this translation comes from the Eris Project at Virginia Tech, which has made it available for public use. The hypertext version presented here has been designed for students of Ancient History at the University of Calgary. I have added chapter and section numbers (to facilitate specific citation or to find a specific passage from a citation; note: the section numbers of a Greek text do not always fit as smoothly as one might like into a translation) and the internal links (to allow navigation); Dryden's paragraphs have been adopted here, with occasional minor modifications.

    Extractions: the 'good' sources There are many ancient sources on the career of the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great : the Library of world history of Diodorus of Sicily, Quintus Curtius Rufus History of Alexander the Great of Macedonia , a Life of Alexander by Plutarch of Chaeronea and the Anabasis by Arrian of Nicomedia are the best-known. All these authors lived more than three centuries after the events they described, but they used older, nearly contemporary sources, that are now lost. In this article, the texts from the so-called 'good tradition' are discussed. (For oriental sources, click here ; for the 'vulgate' tradition, click here Source criticism Plutarch of Chaeronea Aristotle In Alexander's company was a professional historian named Callisthenes of Olynthus (c.370-327), who had already published a Greek history of the years 387-356. The two men may have met as members of the circle around the Macedonian philosopher Aristotle, who was an uncle of the historian and the teacher of the future king. During the campaign, Callisthenes' main duty was to write the Deeds of Alexander , but he was also sent on scientific missions. When Alexander was in Egypt, he sent his historian to Nubia, where he discovered the cause of the Nile flood; and in Babylon, Callisthenes supervised the translation of the

A translation by John Dryden was revised by A. H. Clough in 1864. Although Plutarch displays evident pride in the culture and greatness of the men of Greece, he is nevertheless fair and honest in his treatment of the Romans. As a biographer Plutarch is almost peerless, although his facts are not always accurate. Since his purpose was to portray character and reveal its moral implications, his technique included the use of much anecdotal material. Less known, but also of great charm and interest, are Plutarch's Moralia The Late Vengeance of the Deity, On Superstition, The Right Way of Hearing Poetry
