The Diels/Freeman collection contains a lot more entries, e.g. Epicharmis, Orpheus etc. In some cases more fragments are included, and in others less. It also includes many fragments of the sophists. I skipped most of those here because I have separate books dedicated to them that I am intending to read in the not too distant future. Overall, it functions as a great supplement to Barnes and I recommend it as such. A definitely must read for any Philosophy student or anyone interested in knowing the origins of Western thought. Here you find all the known fragments of the early Greek Philosophers without commentary; this, in a way, can be a positive thing in that it will allow room for a more pristine view of their take on the world and its mysteries. no reviews | add a review
