I was going from the Academy straight to the Lyceum intending to take the outer road which is close under the wall. When I came to the postern gate of the city which is by the fountain of Panops I fell in with Hippothales the son of Hieronymus and Ctesippus the Paeanian and a company of young men who were standing with them. Hippothales seeing me approach asked whence I came and whither I was going. I am going I replied from the Academy straight to the Lyceum. Then come straight to us he said and put in here you may as well. Who are you I said and where am I to come? He showed me an enclosed space and an open door over against the wall. And there he said is the building at which we all meet and a goodly company we are. And what is this building I asked and what sort of entertainment have you? The building he replied is a newly erected Palaestra and the entertainment is generally conversation to which you are welcome.

It seems impossible to separate by any exact line the genuine writings of Plato from the spurious. The only external evidence to them which is of much value is that of Aristotle for the Alexandrian catalogues of a century later include manifest forgeries. Even the value of the Aristotelian authority is a good deal impaired by the uncertainty concerning the date and authorship of the writings which are ascribed to him. And several of the citations of Aristotle omit the name of Plato and some of them omit the name of the dialogue from which they are taken. Prior however to the enquiry about the writings of a particular author general considerations which equally affect all evidence to the genuineness of ancient writings are the following Shorter works are more likely to have been forged or to have received an erroneous designation than longer ones and some kinds of composition such as epistles or panegyrical orations are more liable to suspicion than others those again which have a taste of sophistry in them or the ring of a later age or the slighter character of a rhetorical exercise or in which a motive or some affinity to spurious writings can be detected or which seem to have originated in a name or statement really occurring in some classical author are also of doubtful credit while there is no instance of any ancient writing proved to be a forgery which combines excellence with length. A really great and original writer would have no object in fathering his works on Plato and to the forger or imitator the literary hack of Alexandria and Athens the Gods did not grant originality or genius. Further in attempting to balance the evidence for and against a Platonic dialogue we must not forget that the form of the Platonic writing was common to several of his contemporaries. Aeschines Euclid Phaedo Antisthenes and in the next generation Aristotle are all said to have composed dialogues and mistakes of names are very likely to have occurred. Greek literature in the third century before Christ was almost as voluminous as our own and without the safeguards of regular publication or printing or binding or even of distinct titles. An unknown writing was naturally attributed to a known writer whose works bore the same character and the name once appended easily obtained authority. A tendency may also be observed to blend the works and opinions of the master with those of his scholars. To a later Platonist the difference between Plato and his imitators was not so perceptible as to ourselves. The Memorabilia of Xenophon and the Dialogues of Plato are but a part of a considerable Socratic literature which has passed away. And we must consider how we should regard the question of the genuineness of a particular writing if this lost literature had been preserved to us.

1997년에 데뷔, 오늘날 세계적인 작가의 반열에 오른 트레이시 슈발리에의 2013년 작. 처음으로 모국인 미국의 역사를 소재로 한 장편소설로, 작가로서의 전환점을 이룬 작품이다. 저자는 2009년 4월, 노벨상 수상작가 토니 모리슨의 '19세기 지하철도 운동'에 대한 연설을 듣고 이 소설의 영감을 얻었다고 밝히고 있다.

이후 4년간 19세기 미국 오하이오의 시대상에 대한 면밀한 역사적 고증 작업을 통해 소설의 입체성을 완벽하게 구현했다. 미국 중서부 초기 개척자들의 삶을 면밀하고 섬세하게 관찰하여 각 등장인물들에게 각기 다른 개성을 부여하면서 1850년대 퀘이커 교도들과 도망 노예들의 이야기를 감동적으로 재현했다. 출간 이후 언론과 문단의 호평을 받았다.

영국 퀘이커 교도인 아너 브라이트는 1850년 영국 도싯(Dorset)에서 미국 오하이오로 항해를 나선다. 약혼했던 남자가 파혼을 선언하면서 마음의 상처를 깊이 입은 아너 브라이트는 언니 그레이스가 미국에 있는 약혼자와 결혼하기 위해 떠난다는 소식을 듣고, 갑작스레 언니와 동행하기로 결정한다.

하지만 한 달여의 항해로 인한 뱃멀미로 시달리고, 마차를 타고 미국 대륙을 건너는 도중 언니 그레이스는 황열병에 걸려 시름시름 앓다가 낯선 땅에서 죽음을 맞이한다. 홀로 남게 된 아너는 언니의 약혼자에게 불운의 소식을 전하기 위해 오하이오 주 페이스웰로 기나긴 여정을 계속한다.

This Euthyphro and Socrates are represented as meeting in the porch of the King Archon. (Cp. Theaet. sub fin.) Both have legal business in hand. Socrates is defendant in a suit for impiety which Meletus has brought against him (it is remarked by the way that he is not a likely man himself to have brought a suit against another) and Euthyphro too is plaintiff in an action for murder which he has brought against his own father. The latter has originated in the following manner ?A poor dependant of the family had slain one of their domestic slaves in Naxos. The guilty person was bound and thrown into a ditch by the command of Euthyphro’s father who sent to the interpreters of religion at Athens to ask what should be done with him. Before the messenger came back the criminal had died from hunger and exposure.

Phaedo

After an interval of some months or years and at Phlius a town of Peloponnesus the tale of the last hours of Socrates is narrated to Echecrates and other Phliasians by Phaedo the ‘beloved disciple.’ The Dialogue necessarily takes the form of a narrative because Socrates has to be described acting as well as speaking. The minutest particulars of the event are interesting to distant friends and the narrator has an equal interest in them. During the voyage of the sacred ship to and from Delos which has occupied thirty days the execution of Socrates has been deferred. (Cp. Xen. Mem. iv. 8. 2.) The time has been passed by him in conversation with a select company of disciples. But now the holy season is over and the disciples meet earlier than usual in order that they may converse with Socrates for the last time. Those who were present and those who might have been expected to be present are mentioned by name. There are Simmias and Cebes (Crito 45 B) two disciples of Philolaus whom Socrates ‘by his enchantments has attracted from Thebes’ (Mem. iii. 11. 17) Crito the aged friend the attendant of the prison who is as good as a friend?these take part in the conversation. There are present also Hermogenes from whom Xenophon derived his information about the trial of Socrates (Mem. iv. 8. 4) the ‘madman’ Apollodorus (Symp. 173 D) Euclid and Terpsion from Megara (cp. Theaet. sub init.) Ctesippus Antisthenes Menexenus and some other less-known members of the Socratic circle all of whom are silent auditors. Aristippus Cleombrotus and Plato are noted as absent. Almost as soon as the friends of Socrates enter the prison Xanthipp? and her children are sent home in the care of one of Crito’s servants. Socrates himself has just been released from chains and is led by this circumstance to make the natural remark that ‘pleasure follows pain.’ (Observe that Plato is preparing the way for his doctrine of the alternation of opposites.) ‘Aesop would have represented them in a fable as a two-headed creature of the gods.’ The mention of Aesop reminds Cebes of a question which had been asked by Evenus the poet (cp. Apol. 20 A) ‘Why Socrates who was not a poet while in prison had been putting Aesop into verse?’?‘Because several times in his life he had been warned in dreams that he should practise music and as he was about to die and was not certain of what was meant he wished to fulfil the admonition in the letter as well as in the spirit by writing verses as well as by cultivating philosophy. Tell this to Evenus and say that I would have him follow me in death.’ ‘He is not at all the sort of man to comply with your request Socrates.’ ‘Why is he not a philosopher?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Then he will be willing to die although he will not take his own life for that is held to be unlawful.’

The Phaedrus (Greek Φα?δρο?) written by Plato is a dialogue between Plato s main protagonist Socrates and Phaedrus an interlocutor in several dialogues. The Phaedrus was presumably composed around 370 BC around the same time as Plato s Republic and Symposium with those two texts it is often considered one of Plato s literary high points. Although ostensibly about the topic of love the discussion in the dialogue revolves around the art of rhetoric and how it should be practiced and dwells on subjects as diverse as reincarnation and erotic love.
