Renowned classicist Seth Benardete's careful translations clearly illuminate the dramatic and philosophical unity of these dialogues and highlight Plato's subtle interplay of language and structure. Extensive notes and commentaries, furthermore, underscore the trilogy's motifs and relationships. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The translations are masterpieces of literalness. . . .
