Plato's Phaedo is deservedly one of the best known works of Greek literature, but also one of the most complex. Set in the prison where Socrates is awaiting execution, it portrays Plato's model philosopher in action, spending his last hours in conversation with two other seasoned members of his circle about the fate of the human soul after death. Professor Rowe attempts to help the reader find a way through the intricate structure both of individual passages and arguments and of the dialogue as a whole, stressing its intelligibility as a unified work of art and giving equal attention to its literary and philosophical aspects. The notes also aim to provide the kind of help with Plato's Greek which is needed by comparative beginners in the language, but the commentary is intended for any student, classical scholar, or philosopher with an interest in the close reading of Plato.
Industry Reviews

Very usable source. I like the professional inclusion o introduction, notes, bibliography and clear Stephans numbering. All contribute to introducing students to a scholarly text. Book opens easily for ease in reading. I will consider it for future courses.--Dr. Madonna R. Adams, Pace University


Gallop's translation, notes, and introduction to Plato's Phaedo shows first rate literary, philosophical and historical competence.--Professor John J. Glanville, San Francisco State University


Very fine volume. I appreciate the full Stephanus notation as well as the ample index.--Germain Kopaczynski, St. Hyacinth Clg. & Sem.


So glad you included the Stephanus numbers. Notes are helpfu. Look forward to complete Oxford Plato.--Professor Eva AH. Cadwallader, Westminster College


Explanatory notes are very useful for students without a great deal of background in Greek history or philosophy.--Dr. mark Berber, Saint Mary's College
