Plato theM ythologist, or Prophet, as distinguished from Plato theD ialectician, orE easoner. In order to effect this special object within a reasonable space, it was necessary to extract theM yths from theD ialogues in which they occur, with only the shortest possible indication of the Context in each case, and to confine theO bservations to theM yths as individual pieces and as a series. The reader, therefore, must not expect to find in theO bservations on, say, the Pkaedo Myth or the Phaedrus Myth aS tudy of the Phaedo or the Phaedrus. The Greek text printed opposite the Translations and followed by them throughout, except in a few places where preferred readings are given in footnotes, is that of Stallbaum sP latonis Opera Omnia Uno Volumine Compreliensa (1867). I owe a large debt of gratitude to two friends for help received. Professor J. S. Phillirnore read all the Translations through in proof with the most friendly care; and errors which may be detected in these Translations will, I feel sure, turn out to be in places where, from some cause or other, I may have failed to make proper use of his suggestions. The other friend who helped me, Frederick York Powell, is gone. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don"t occur in the book.)
