Opera: Volume I: Euthyphro, Apologia Socratis, Crito, Phaedo, Cratylus, Sophista, Politicus, Theaetetus / Edition 2

by Plato, E. A. Duke, W. F. Hicken, W. S. M. Nicoll, D. B. Robinson

Overview

This long awaited new edition contains seven of the dialogues of Plato, and is the first in the five-volume complete edition of Plato's works in the Oxford Classical Texts series. The result of many years of painstaking scholarship, the new volume will replace the now nearly one hundred-year-old original edition, and is destined to become just as long lasting a classic.

Editorial Reviews

"...a unified project, and executed with notable editorial consistency....unless there are major papyrus finds, or the study of ancient Greek revives, it is unlikely that the world will ever have a better text of Plato than this."—Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"The task of producing a new Plato is enormous, and the editors have greatly advanced our knowledge of his textual tradition."—Bryn Mawr Classical Review
