Status Updates From Plutarch's Lives: Volume I

I'm taking this one very slowly. It's interesting, but it's not a fast mover.

"Chaeronean Plutarch, to thy deathless praise
Does martial Rome this grateful statue raise,
Because both Greece and she thy fame have shared,
(Their heroes written, and their lives compared).
But thou thyself couldst never write thy own;
Their lives have parallels, but thine has none."
