This volume contains the complete texts of: The Republic, Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Ion, Meno, and the Symposium.

Phaedo is the classic text describing the death of Socrates. Plato's Phaedo (pronounced /ˈfiːdoʊ/, Greek: Φαίδων, Phaidon, gen.: Φαίδωνος) is one of the great dialogues of his middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. The Phaedo, which depicts the death of Socrates, is also Plato's seventh and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days.

Plato was an interesting philosopher. At times he contradicted himself outright. But in a way, I think I prefer it like that. ( )

Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451527453, Mass Market Paperback)

"In Rouse's pages, Soctrates' strength of mind, his dedication to the philosophical truth, are borne in on the modern reader with something of the power that impressed and disturbed the ancient Greeks."--Time

"There has been no adequate translation of Plato since Jowett...and I think Rouse has done it." --Dudley Fitts

* Rouse is one of the world's most respected classical scholars
