Plutarch's work has been widely used as a historical source without ever questioning the nature, meaning, and modalities of the Chaeronea biographer's approach. Drawing on a resolutely interdisciplinary approach, this work seeks to identify the specificity of Plutarch's historical-biographical writing in order to avoid the methodological errors that the confusion of genres has sometimes encouraged in the past.
