'Sansone's Menexenus constitutes an intelligent, learned, and welcome attempt to take a dialogue often considered peripheral and return it to the center of Plato's philosophical concerns. In this as in other ways, it succeeds admirably.' Geoff Bakewell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Author Information

David Sansone is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Classics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In a career of over forty years he has taught a great variety of courses, and these have often inspired his publications, including Ancient Greek Civilization (3rd ed. 2017) and Greek Athletics and the Genesis of Sport (1988). The main focus of his research, however, has been on Greek language and literature, especially Attic tragedy and its influence on the development of Greek prose; his book Greek Drama and the Invention of Rhetoric (2012) argues for the decisive effect Greek tragedy had on the creation of a formal art of rhetoric in fifth-century Greece.
