Plutarch
Greek biographer and author Plutarch, c. 100 ce.
In total, 22 pairs of biographies from the Parallel Lives have survived to the present day.12
It is important to note that this count includes one pair that consists of a double group—specifically the biographies of "Agis and Cleomenes" and the "Gracchi". In addition to these 22 pairs, four single biographies have also survived: those of Artaxerxes II, Aratus, Galba, and Otho. The very first pair, which featured Epaminondas and Scipio, has been lost.12
