Exploring both how Plato engaged with existing literary forms and
how later literature then created 'classics' out of some of Plato's
richest works, this book includes chapters on such subjects as
rewritings of the Apology and re-imaginings of Socrates' defence,
Plato's high style and the criticisms it attracted, and how
Petronius and Apuleius threaded Plato into their wonderfully comic
texts. The scene for these case studies is set through a thorough
examination of how the tradition constructed the relationship
between Plato and Homer, of how Plato adapted poetic forms of
imagery to his philosophical project in the Republic, of shared
techniques of representation between poet and philosopher and of
foreshadowings of later modes of criticism in his Ion. This is a
major contribution to Platonic studies, to the history of Platonic
reception from the fourth century BC to the third century AD and to
the literature of the Second Sophistic.
