Abstract

David Horan has gifted us all with the publication of a new translation of the dialogues of Plato. 1 The beautiful two-volume edition is the culmination of a monumental sixteen-year effort. It collects thirty-two dialogues and all the letters attributed to Plato, with a foreword by Professor John Dillon and a brief, beautiful, and fitting introduction by Horan. The list of dialogues includes all those considered authentic, as well as some of disputed authenticity, including Cleitophon , both Alcibiades dialogues, both Hippias dialogues, Minos , and Epinomis . The only thing that I missed in the printed edition was more space in the margins for the many marginalia that I intend to add.
