Jacques Amyot, a French Renaissance writer and translator, was born on 30 October 1513, and he passed away on 06 February 1593. He is perhaps best known for his influential translations of ancient Greek and Roman texts into French, particularly his translation of Plutarch's "Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans" (Les Vies des hommes illustres).
