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). Amyot's
translations played a significant role in disseminating classical
literature and ideas during the Renaissance in France.
