Product Description An annotated and modified version of the translation published by Aris and Phillips Ltd.A model of accuracy and fluency, Christopher Rowe's translation of Statesman--as modified for publication in Plato, Complete Works (Hackett Publishing Co., 1997)--is now available in a student edition, with a brief introduction, notes, and a select bibliography. Review The original publication of Rowe's translation in 1995 was a landmark event in the study of this fascinating but enigmatic dialogue. Based on a careful and convincing revised Greek text, the contemporary English of this unpretentious, clear, and--above all--accurate revised version make it by far the best available. In fact, Rowes translation is now and will surely remain the only acceptable choice. --John Cooper, Princeton University About the Author Christopher Rowe is Professor of Greek, University of Durham, U.K.
