![]() ![]() Dating all the way back to the mythic past with Theseus, the biographies encompass both legend and more recent history. The majority of them are politicians, soldiers, and leaders. There are 48 men whom Plutarch writes about in this book. Although refraining from comment in the biographies themselves, Plutarch heavily adds his personal evaluation of the men's respective characters, accomplishments, and reputations. Following the pairing, Plutarch adds his own evaluation of the contrast of these two historical figures. For every Greek figure, there is an accompanying Roman. In order to further examine and chart the effect of moral character in famous people's lives, Plutarch writes this collection as a biography study.

Even as recently as the new Creepshow series on Shudder has made “Gray Matter” into an episode. Now I am reading these stories again, and so many of them have been made into movies and pieces of anthology series, it is remarkable how much of the material has been mined for content.
