Routledge Library Editions: Socrates Socrates, Man and Myth: The Two Socratic Apologies of Xenophon, Book 2, (Paperback)

The purpose of this book, first published in 1957, is to make a critical analysis of the controversial Socratic problem. The Socratic issue owes its paramount difficulty not only to the status of available source materials, but also to the diversity of opinion as to the proper use of these materials. This volume offers a new approach to the problem, and a starting point to further investigations.
