Yknok 3,825 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Plutarch was a biographer during the Roman Empire. Not much is known about him other than his book "Parallel Lives", which is a book compiling the biographies of various Greek and Roman notables. He compared a Greek hero and a similar Roman hero. First he would tell the story of a greek hero, then a roman hero, and then compared their lives and found similarity. The most famous example in his book was, of course, Alexander the Great and Caesar. Plutarch ends his book with comparison of a couple of pretenders; Aratus, a guy who tried to take over Sparta, and Galba, a short lived Roman Emperor who overthrew Nero ; and Artaxerxes II, a Persian Emperor who briefly dominated Greece, and Otho, another short lived Emperor who killed Galba. In the spirit of Plutarch, if someone does a compilation of Pop notables and KPop notables, what would it be?
