Diverse essays treat literary elements such as the parallelism which renders a pair of lives a unit or the themes which unify the lives. Others consider the selecting, combining, simplifying, and enlarging employed in composition. The construction of a Plutarchian life, the essays demonstrate, required careful selection and creative reworking of the historical material available. 606 $aBiography as a literary form 607 $aGreece$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 607 $aRome$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 607 $aGreece$xHistoriography 607 $aRome$xHistoriography 615 0$aBiography as a literary form. 676 $a920.038 701 $aStadter$b Philip A$0153603 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779818803321 996 $aPlutarch and the historical tradition$93813572 997 $aUNINA
