The Euthyphro's contents make it attractive for those who are serious about philosophy at any level. The Greek of the Euthyphro is clear and easy to follow, but not overly simple. The Clitophon is an ideal next step, for its philosophy complements that of the Euthyphro, while its Greek is somewhat more complicated and stylized. Professor Bailly's commentary has three parts: 1) Introductory Comments for each dialogue, 2) Comments about the contents following each section of Greek text, and 3) Word-by-word, line-by-line Commentary on the Greek of each section of text. Every Greek word in the Euthyphro and Clitophon which might need explaining has received attention in the line-by-line commentary and an entry in the vocabulary. The commentary never translates a difficult passage, but rather explains its grammar so that readers must engage the Greek in all its glory, but not without help. All readers with an interest in reading the Euthyphro and Clitophon in the original Greek will find this an indispensable guide.Bailly, Jacques is the author of 'Plato's Euthyphro & Clitophon' with ISBN 9781585100590 and ISBN 1585100595.
