Plato: Menexenus

In Menexenus Plato depicts an elderly Socrates reciting an inspiring funeral oration learned from his teacher Aspasia, although such a scenario is entirely fictional. The work reveals Plato's mastery of prose style and his critique of rhetoric and democratic ideology. Suitable for intermediate and advanced students of ancient Greek.
