Plutarch, an ancient author who lived before AD 50 and died after AD 120, has had a significant impact on the popular conception of Sparta. Writing during the Roman Empire, when the glory days of ancient Sparta were already distant, Plutarch played a crucial role in the mythologization of Sparta while also providing valuable historical insights. In this volume, eight scholars from various parts of the world come together to examine Plutarch's understanding and presentation of Sparta, his flaws as a historical source, and his development of Sparta as a resonant subject and theme in his renowned work, the Parallel Lives. This book is the latest in a series published by the Classical Press of Wales on significant sources related to Sparta. Previous volumes on Xenophon and Sparta (Powell & Richer 2020) and Thucydides and Sparta (Powell & Debnar 2021) have been released, and a forthcoming volume on Herodotus and Sparta is currently in preparation.
