Description

Explore a fresh perspective on one of Plato's most debated works. Menexenus is often viewed as a puzzling text, leading many scholars to dismiss it as a parody or a spurious work. In this Routledge publication, authors Pappas and Zelcer present a persuasive alternative reading that changes how we view the dialogue. This book helps readers understand Plato's political thought through a detailed analysis of education, rhetoric, myth, and history. The text is organized into two distinct parts to guide your study. The first part provides a clear synopsis of the dialogue and examines its specific setting and background. Whether you are a student of ancient Greek history or a scholar of classical philosophy, this work offers valuable insights into the complexities of Athenian funeral rhetoric and Plato's broader political philosophy. It serves as a significant contribution to the study of ancient Greek civilization and political theory.
