Useful links

A. Texts* (from Perseus Digital Library [PDL] and Internet Classics Archive [ICA]).

*Warning: These links are to translations that differ from the ones used in class and should be employed with caution. Sometimes it is good to compare how different translators render a passage, since it can help us to understand it better. For your papers, however, you should use the translations that figure in the syllabus and only refer to a different translation if you think that it captures something that the assigned one is missing.

Plato:

Apology (PDL), Alcibiades I (PDL), Meno (PDL), Phaedo (PDL), Protagoras (PDL), Gorgias (PDL),  Republic (PDL).
