Plato: Republic, Apology, and Crito: Apology and Crito

Originally published in "College Series of Greek Authors" during Victorian times, this work still constitutes an indispensable pedagogical reader for high school and college students of Greek. Each text is given in Greek with an extensive commentary and apparatus in English.

All the writings of Plato generally considered to be authentic are here presented. The editors set out to choose the contents of this collected edition from the work of the best British and American translators of the last 100 years, ranging from Jowett (1871) to scholars of the present day. The volume contains prefatory notes to each dialogue by Edith Hamilton; an introductory essay on Plato's philosophy and writings by Huntington Cairns; and a comprehensive index which seeks, by means of cross references, to assist the reader with the philosophical vocabulary of the different translators.

The second edition of "Five Dialogues" presents G. M. A. Grube's distinguished translations, as revised by John Cooper for "Plato, Complete Works." A number of new or expanded footnotes are also included along with an updated bibliography.

Compiled and edited by Charles W. Eliot in 1909, the Harvard Classics is a 51-volume Anthology of classic literature from throughout the history of western civilization. Volume 2 of the set contains 5 works from 3 authors: the "Apology," "Phaedo," and "Crito" by Plato, the "Golden Sayings" by Epictetus, and the "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius.

Here are five of Plato's remarkable and revelatory dialogues, each translated by distinguished classical scholar Benjamin Jowett. "Apology" defends the integrity of Socrates' teachings. "Crito" discusses respect for the law. "Phaedo" considers death and the immortality of the soul. "Symposium" reflects on the ultimate manifestation of the love that controls the world, and "Republic" ponders society and the philosopher's role within it. Stimulating, dramatic, and always relevant, these dialogues have profoundly influenced the history of intellectual thought, and offer crucial insight into mystical, aesthetic, and other aspects of Platonic doctrine.

The third edition of The Trial and Death of Socrates presents G. M. A. Grube's distinguished translations, as revised by John Cooper for Plato, Complete Works. A number of new or expanded footnotes are also included along with a Select Bibliography.
