Pseudo-plutarch




Some of these works were included in some editions of Plutarch's '' Moralia ''. Among these are
  • the ''Lives of the Ten Orators'' (''vitae decem oratorum'', biographies of the Ten Orators of ancient Athens , based on Caecilius Of Calacte ), possibly deriving from a common source with the ''Lives'' of Photius .

  • ''The Doctrines of the Philosophers''

  • ''On Music''

  • ''Parallela Minora'' {Link without Title}

  • ''Pro nobilitate''

  • ''on rivers''

  • ''de Homero''

  • ''De unius in re publica dominatione'' is of uncertain authenticity.


These works date to slightly later than Plutarch , but they are all classical in origin (3rd or 4th century) have value to the historian.

Some works ascribed to Plutarch are likely of medieval origin, such as the letter to Trajan {Link without Title}
