The People of Plato: A Prosopography of Plato and Other Socratics

The People of Plato: A Prosopography of Plato and Other Socratics Review



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.
