Review: Lysis/Symposium/Gorgias (Loeb Classical Library 166)
Nutzerbericht - Buck - GoodreadsIt's probably significant that Classical Greek has no exact equivalent for our word 'love'. English gets by with a single, overworked monosyllable, but the Greeks subcontracted out the various nuances ... Vollständige Rezension lesen
Review: Theaetetus/Sophist
