Plato's Animals examines the crucial role played by animal images,
metaphors, allusions, and analogies in Plato's Dialogues. These
fourteen lively essays demonstrate that the gadflies, snakes,
stingrays, swans, dogs, horses, and other animals that populate
Plato's work are not just rhetorical embellishments. Animals are
central to Plato's understanding of the hierarchy between animals,
humans, and gods and are crucial to his ideas about education,
sexuality, politics, aesthetics, the afterlife, the nature of the
soul, and philosophy itself. The volume includes a comprehensive
annotated index to Plato's bestiary in both Greek and English.
