The People of Plato

The first study since 1823 devoted exclusively to the identification of, and relationships among, the individuals who appear in the Platonic dialogues, this prosopography incorporates the results of modern epigraphical and papyrological research, and enables one to consider the individuals of Plato's works, and those of other Socratics, within a nexus of important political, social, and familial relationships. Includes maps, stemmata, diagrams, glossary, and bibliography.
