Hermias: On Plato Phaedrus 257d-279c, with 'Syrianus': Introduction to Hermogenes on Styles

by Dirk Baltzly and Michael Share

This third and final volume concludes Hermias' commentary on Plato's Phaedrus. Here, Plato delivers a celebrated critique of writing, and its relationship to orality. Hermias follows him, and adds a general account of good writing. In addition, this volume offers the first English translation of the brief Introduction to Hermogenes' On Styles, which manuscripts attribute-probably mistakenly-to Hermias' teacher Syrianus.
