The past fifty years have witnessed the flourishing of scholarship
in virtually every area of ancient Greek philosophy, but the
sophists have for the most part been neglected. This is certainly
true of Prodicus of Ceos: of the four most well-known
sophists--Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, and Antiphon--he has
received the least attention. Robert Mayhew provides a reassessment
of his life and thought, and especially his views on language,
religion, and ethics. This volume consists of ninety texts with
facing translations--far more than have appeared in any previous
edition--and provides the first commentary on the extant evidence
for Prodicus' life and thought. The texts are drawn from the best
available editions; the translations are new, and faithful to the
original. Mayhew's commentary is designed to serve the needs of a
wide range of readers: both scholars of ancient philosophy, and
advanced students curious about this intriguing figure who appears
in over a dozen Platonic dialogues.
