The BIRTH OF PLUTARCH is placed between 40 and 50 A.D., and his death between 120 and 130 A.D. He was born in Chaironeia of Boeotia and, except for the time he spent traveling and touring, he lived in this city for the greater part of a long, interesting, and honored life, built on family cohesion and many significant friends.
The primary source for his life, aside from some inscriptive and chronological testimonies, is his (preserved) work; it includes, as is well known, a series of comparative biographies of prominent Greeks and Romans, arranged in matching pairs, the Parallel Lives, and a large group of heterogeneous writings, which have been inaccurately termed all as Morals because in the edition of these writings by Maximus Planudes (late 13th - early 14th century), those works that justified this title were placed at the forefront.
Most of the works of the Morals are recorded in a catalog with several omissions and inaccuracies, which has survived under the name 'catalog of Lamprias'; the name was falsely attributed to a son of Plutarch. By balancing the information in tradition and based on the edition of Henry Estienne in 1572, scholars of the Morals have today arrived at a list of approximately seventy-eight surviving works, some of which have their authenticity disputed.
