| Summary | "Πλουτάρχου Βίοι Παράλληλοι - Τόμος 1" by Plutarch is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume introduces a series of biographical sketches that compare notable figures from ancient Greece and Rome, including Theseus, Romulus, Lycurgus, and Numa. The work aims to highlight moral virtues and inspire readers to emulate them through the intertwined lives of its subjects. The opening of the text sets a foundational understanding of the purpose and context of Plutarch's biographies. It introduces Theseus and Romulus as two parallel figures, emphasizing their similarities, such as their noble lineage and heroic traits. Plutarch contrasts their lives, suggesting their respective influences on their cities—Athens and Rome—while acknowledging their shared experiences of personal struggles and familial conflicts. Through this introspective lens, the author begins to explore themes of governance, virtue, and moral character that will be examined throughout the biographical narratives.
