Headmaster of King Edward's School in Birmingham for fourteen
years, Edwin Hamilton Gifford (1820 1905) also held a number of
ecclesiastical posts, including select preacher at both Cambridge
and Oxford. Better known for his biblical and patristic
scholarship, he also prepared this edition of the Euthydemus,
Plato's most comical dialogue. Thought to be an early work,
depicting a discussion between Socrates and two sophists trained in
eristic (argument for the sake of conflict), it is among the
earliest-known treatises on logic, satirising various fallacies
that were subsequently categorised by Aristotle. Published in 1905,
a generation after Jowett's standard translation, this edition was
intended for university and advanced school students. A thorough
introduction is given in English, followed by the Greek text,
extensive notes, and indexes of vocabulary and names. As such, this
reissue illuminates the educational preoccupations of both early
twentieth-century England and classical Athens.
