What it is about
The Parallel Lives, in Clough's translation.
Context and history
Plutarch pairs a Greek with a Roman — Alexander and Caesar, Demosthenes and Cicero — and compares them at the end of each pair. He is not writing history but **character**: he says outright that a small anecdote reveals the man better than a battle. Half of Shakespeare's Roman plays come from here, and much of what the West thinks it knows about antiquity.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
