Plutarch
46 – 120 AD · Greek Biographer, Essayist, Priest
Plutarch spent his life studying great men, pairing Greeks with Romans in his Parallel Lives to show that character, not circumstance, determines legacy. He believed that biography, honestly told, was the most powerful tool for moral instruction.
