In Plutarch, it is especially necessary to highlight works of moralistic content, where he analyzes, for example, human passions such as love of money, anger, and curiosity. If we take into account all the works in which Plutarch develops moralistic themes, we will have to count more than two dozen of them. Very complex topics include table and feast conversations, which, one might say, constitute a special literary genre, as well as collections of sayings. All these works represent one general section, usually bearing the obscure title Moralia. In this section, moral works, however, are presented very widely, and Plutarch does not write almost a single treatise without this morality. However, the given general title for a huge section of essays is better understood as an indication of the problems of human thought and life in general. Philological commentaries on Homer, Hesiod, Aratus, Nikander, which have come down to us only in fragments, should also be included in this type of writings.
