Plato's Definitions and Epigrams / Πλάτωνος Ὅροι καὶ Ἐπιγράμματα
'Plato's Definitions and Epigrams / Πλάτωνος Ὅροι καὶ Ἐπιγράμματα' Summary
The book 'Definitions and Epigrams' presents a compilation of two works traditionally attributed to Plato, although modern scholarship suggests different authorship for 'Definitions.' The 'Definitions' section presents a lexicon of 184 terms, reflecting the vocabulary and concepts developed within Plato's Academy. The second part, 'Epigrams,' comprises 32 short poems in elegiac couplets, offering a window into the poetic sensibilities of the Platonic circle. While the exact authorship of both parts is debated, the collection provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and artistic landscape of ancient Greek thought and culture.Book Details
