Socrates and the Socratic Dialogue assembles the most complete range of studies on Socrates and the Socratic dialogue. It focuses on portrayals of Socrates, whether as historical figure or protagonist of ‘Socratic dialogues’, in extant and fragmentary texts from Classical Athens through Late Antiquity. Special attention is paid to the evolving power and texture of the Socratic icon as it adopted old and new uses in philosophy, biography, oratory, and literature. Chapters in this volume focus on Old Comedy, Sophistry, the first-generation Socratics including Plato and Xenophon, Aristotle and Aristoxenus, Epicurus and Stoicism, Cicero and Persius, Plutarch, Apuleius and Maximus, Diogenes Laertius, Libanius, Themistius, Julian, and Proclus.

''Alessandro Stavru and Christopher Moore have produced a substantial contribution to the literature on Socrates and Socratic literature. Their edited collection includes around forty chapters on a wide range of Socratic topics. Following an overview chapter by the editors, the volume is divided into five parts: the contemporary Athenian representation of Socrates and the Socratic dialogue, the Socratic circle, Plato, Xenophon, and the later ancient reception of Socrates. This is a rich and stimulating resource which will have something to offer anyone with an interest in Socrates.'' Jenny Bryan, in Greece & Rome 67.1: 113-118 (april 2022)
