 Much of ancient history can only be written thanks to evidence supplied by Plutarch. His historical methods and qualities were for long subjected to little systematic analysis. However, in recent decades an authoritative and profoundly influential set of studies has appeared in the field, the work of Christopher Pelling. This book contains eighteen of Pelling's most important papers, revised by the author. Together, they form an essential work of reference for serious students of Greece and Rome
