Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Republic of Plato: With Studies for Teachers
The principal characters in the Republic are Cephalus, Pole marches, Thmymsohus, Socrates, Glaucon, and Adeimantua. Cephalus appears in the introduction only, Polemarchua drops at the end of the first argument, and Thrasymachus is reduced to silence at the close of the first book. The main discussion is carried on by Socrates, Glaucon, and Ad eimantus. Among the audience are Lysias the orator and Euthydemus, the sons of Cephalus and brothers cf Polemarchus, an unknown Charmantides these are mute auditors; also there is Cleitophon, who once interrupts (840 A), and there, as in the Dialogue which bears his name, appears as the friend and ally of Thrasymachus.
