Pseudo-Plutarch

Pseudo-Plutarch

Pseudo-Plutarch is the conventional name given to the unknown authors of a number of pseudepigrapha attributed to 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" [http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Moralia/Parallela_Minora*.html]
*"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 all date to Late Antiquity (3rd to 4th century AD).

One pseudepigraphal philosophical work, "De fato" (included in editions of Plutarch's "Moralia") is thought to be a second century Middle Platonic work.

Some works ascribed to Plutarch are likely of medieval origin, such as the letter to Trajan [http://www.utexas.edu/depts/classics/chaironeia/institutio.html]
