Although written in Greek as the Ἠθικά (Ēthiká, "Ethics"), the work is generally known by its Latin name Moralia or by an English translation of it: the Morals or Moral Essays. The "work" covers many diverse topics, since it is used as a catch-all for any of Plutarch's surviving works or fragments apart from the biographies and biographical comparisons that make up his Lives.
