Brill's Companion to the Reception of Plato in Antiquity offers a
comprehensive account of the ways in which ancient readers
responded to Plato, as philosopher, as author, and more generally
as a central figure in the intellectual heritage of Classical
Greece, from his death in the fourth century BCE until the
Platonist and Aristotelian commentators in the sixth century CE.
The volume is divided into three sections: 'Early Developments in
Reception' (four chapters); 'Early Imperial Reception' (nine
chapters); and 'Early Christianity and Late Antique Platonism'
(eighteen chapters). Sectional introductions cover matters of
importance that could not easily be covered in dedicated chapters.
The book demonstrates the great variety of approaches to and
interpretations of Plato among even his most dedicated ancient
readers, offering some salutary lessons for his modern readers too.
