who is plutarch and what did he do
Plutarch Plutarch (/ˈpluːtɑːrk/; Greek: Πλούταρχος, Ploútarkhos, Koine Greek: [plǔːtarkʰos]; c. CE 46 – CE 120),[1] later named, upon becoming a Roman citizen, Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus, (Λούκιος Μέστριος Πλούταρχος)[a] was a Greek biographer and essayist, known primarily for his Parallel Lives and Moralia.[2] He is classified[3] as a Middle Platonist. Plutarch's surviving works were written in Greek, but intended for both Greek and Roman readers.[4]
Trojan War The Greeks retrieved Pelop's bones,[141] and sent Odysseus to retrieve Neoptolemus, who was hiding from the war in King Lycomedes's court in Scyros. Odysseus gave him his father's arms.[131][142] Eurypylus, son of Telephus, leading, according to Homer, a large force of KÃªteioi,[143] or Hittites or Mysians according to Apollodorus,[144] arrived to aid the Trojans. He killed Machaon[111] and Peneleos,[145] but was slain by Neoptolemus.
