Relationships: 99 Cent Lysis or Friendship

Collectors edition! These approachable translations make Plato so much easier to understand and follow, and when Socrates takes his interlocutor for a logical roller-coaster, following is essential. The translations might seem elementary compared to other floral translations of Plato, but in my experience, Greek is a rather simple language, and following the word meaning and grammar literally often produces translations such as these in this book. The "fancier" translations are unnecessarily confusing, whereas these translations work just fine.
