Description
This translation presents Plato's dialogue in which Socrates seeks to define rhetoric and critiques the sophistic orators. The speeches from Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian Wars are included to reflect Plato's themes.
The Focus Philosophical Library translations aim to provide a close and non-interpretative rendering of the original text, accompanied by notes and a glossary to help readers understand the terms and concepts as they were understood by Plato's immediate audience.
