‘This book intended for the ordinary reader who knows no Greek, contains in an English translation (Jowett’s with slight modification) three works of Plato, the Apology, Crito, and Phaedo, giving a picture of Socrates that no other description could approach. Without guidance a reader of Plato finds some things unintelligible and, misses much. It is a new feature of this edition that it contains explanatory notes on the text, and analyses and discussions of the arguments, in addition to an introduction dealing with the life, times, and work of Socrates and his permanent importance
Portrait of Socrates: being the apology, crito and phaedo of Plato in an English translation with introductions and notes.
