Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. 45-120 CE, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the 46 Parallel Lives, biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch's many other varied extant works, about 60 in number, are known as the Moralia or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics and religion. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the Moralia is in fifteen volumes, Volume XIII having two parts.

"Consulter les oracles est une pratique répandue dans de nombreuses cultures, présente dès le IIe millénaire avant notre ère en Mésopotamie, et encore en vigueur actuellement dans des sociétés traditionnelles. Elle est bien connue dans l'Égypte pharaonique, où elle est généralement utilisée dans l'intérêt du pouvoir et pour confirmer son autorité. Aux époques ptolémaïque et romaine (du IVe siècle av. J.-C. au Ve siècle de notre ère), et au-delà, la consultation oraculaire se développe considérablement en Égypte, traduisant peut-être un sentiment d'insécurité qui conduit de plus en plus d'hommes et de femmes à se mettre, comme disent les textes, « entre les mains du dieu ». Les questions posées aux oracles reflètent alors le plus souvent les multiples problèmes de la vie quotidienne : le mariage, la santé, les activités professionnelles, les litiges... Dans cette société égyptienne qui connaît de grands changements entre les mains des Grecs, puis des Romains, la plupart des gens vivent avec des préoccupations qui sont sans doute de tous les temps. Ce qu'ils attendent avant tout des oracles, c'est que le dieu qui est censé les émettre leur dise « ce qu'ils doivent faire », prenant pour eux les décisions qu'ils n'arrivent pas à prendre et les délivrant ainsi du fardeau de la responsabilité."
