Extract

Plato Through Homer: Poetry and Philosophy in the Cosmological Dialogues. By Zdravko Planinc. Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 2003. 152p. $37.50.

This is the kind of book that gives great pleasure to a reviewer. Not only does it reward the act of taking time away from one's own reading agenda to evaluate an unknown and undiscovered text, but it warrants a strong recommendation that others do the same. This review will provide a summary of the refreshingly simple and provocativeargument of Zdravko Planinc's Plato Through Homer, and a short explanation as to why this small volume is worthy of our attention.
