In selecting the texts, Professor J.L. Ackrill has drawn on his broad experience of teaching graduate classes, & his choice reflects issues of current philosophical interest as well as the perennial themes. Only recent translations which achieve a high level of accuracy have been chosen; the aim is to place the Greek-less reader, as nearly as possible, in the position of a reader of Greek. As an aid to study, Professor Ackrill supplies a valuable guide to the key topics coverwed.The guide gives references to works or passages contained in the reader, an indication of their interrelations, and current bibliography. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: J.L.
