Plato's Definitions And Epigrams / Πλάτωνος Ὅροι καὶ Ἐπιγράμματα

Plato's Definitions and Epigrams / Πλάτωνος Ὅροι καὶ Ἐπιγράμματα

by Plato (Πλάτων)

This collection comprises two distinct parts: 'Definitions' and 'Epigrams.' The first, a dictionary of 184 terms, originated in Plato's Academy and was traditionally attributed to Plato. However, later scholarly work suggests Speusippus, Plato's successor as head of the Academy, as the actual author. The second part consists of 32 short poems in the form of elegiac couplets, attributed to Plato. This work offers a glimpse into the philosophical terminology and poetic expression of the Platonic school.
