Plutarch (Chaeronea, c. 46 or 50 - Delphi, c. 120), was a Greek historian, biographer and moral philosopher. The surviving remains of his work are collected under the title Moralia (translated as Moral and Customary Works). The title was not given to him by Plutarch himself, but by the Byzantine monk Maximus Planudes, who collected in the 13th century various scattered works of the author, and even others considered spurious today, under this title. This is an eclectic collection of seventy-eight opuscules on ethics.
