The collection includes selected biographies of the author, whose task was to compile as accurately and correctly as possible biographies of legendary figures of the past, such as the winner of the Minotaur Theseus and the founder of Rome Romulus, semi-legendary rulers (such as Lycurgus and Numa Pompilius) and quite historical kings and emperors, politicians and military leaders, tyrants and tyrannopolitans. Under Plutarch's lively and vivid pen, Alexander the Great and Gaius Julius Caesar, the idol of democratic Athens Pericles and the passionate inconsistent hedonist Alkibiades literally come to life in the fullness and ambiguity of their characters, the favorite of late republican Rome Pompey the Great and the stern stoic Cicero, the frivolous Mark Antony and many other famous darlings and stepchildren of the fate of ancient Greece and Rome, who in one way or another left a noticeable trace in human memory.
