Plútarchos, známý především svými paralelními životopisy a spisy Moralia, byl řecký historik a esejista, jehož díla ovlivnila celá staletí. Jeho spisy, psané v řečtině pro řecké i římské čtenáře, se vyznačují hlubokým zájmem o etiku a charakter. Jako střední platonik zkoumal Plutarchos povahu ctnosti a lidské kondice s důrazem na morální příklady. Jeho mistrovství v biografiích a esejích z něj činí trvalou postavu literární historie.
