Reviews

This volume is not meant to be, nor could it be, given the limited sources, a definitive history of the reception of Plato's Phaedo. Yet the variety of approaches of the contributing authors, some writing in close focus others with a broader palette, has succeeded in producing important general conclusions that are always based on sound and detailed evidence. The volume's usefulness is also enhanced by an extensive bibliography and three comprehensive indices: locorum, rerum and nominum. -ANDREW SMITH, University College Dublin, Journal of Hellenic Studies 137 (2017) 275-76.

Just as it is impossible to do justice to every aspect of Phaedo's influence in antiquity, it is also impossible to do justice to the rich array of insights on offer in this volume ... a must have for any serious student of the dialogue. - Donka D. Markus, University of Michigan, The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition 11 (2017) The ground covered is immense ... the variety of approaches of the contributing authors, some writing in close focus others with a broader palette, has succeeded in producing important general conclusions that are always based on sound and detailed evidence. The volume's usefulness is also enhanced by an extensive bibliography and three comprehensive indices: locorum, rerum and nominum. - Andrew Smith, University College Dublin, Journal of Hellenic Studies 137 (2017)
