"""Accessible and lively."" --Bryn Mawr Classical Review ""One striking feature of the translations is their relative clarity and directness. This is particularly impressive given the variety, complexity, and often highly poetic character of the speeches contained in the Symposium and Phaedrus . . . All students of Plato should welcome Joe Sachs's contributions."" --Interpretation ""Joe Sachs is a national treasure. His brilliant translations from the Greek, spanning works from Homer to Aristotle, have long enriched scholars and students alike. He crowns those achievements with this exquisite rendering of two of Plato's most beautiful dialogues, with an introduction that evidences his deft ability to drill down to 'the thing itself.'"" --Thomas Sheehan, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, Stanford University"
