Plato’s Apology of Socrates: A Commentary

Miller (classics and comparative literature, U. of South Carolina) and Platter (classics, U. of Georgia) present a highly annotated edition of the Greek text followed by essays commenting on the text in a manner suitable for intermediate students of ancient Greek. The introduction discusses the historical background and the two philosophers and their relationship. An appendix explains changes they have made to John Burnet's 1900 edition, which is the basis for their own. A glossary is included. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
