You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink
How honest was the people's noble son
The world, however, did not wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's honesty that brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with none

Owning one (OWC) but having read both, I can honestly say I prefered the Penguin on my first read-through.

I found the indexing and apparatus of the OWC edition mildy frustrating when grazing for info/reading forentertainment, but it's otherwise excellent if you have a specific passage or author to look up.

I definitely don't regret the Waterfield purchase, but I'm also on the lookout for secondhand copy of the Penguin. They both have the merits.

>>6910707 is right, though. The Cambridge edition is objectively the best, but a lot steeper price-wise.

OWC

On the topic of good OWC Classics titles, Robin Hard's "Diogenes the Cynic" is unimpeachably excellent; it pretty much reverses my formatting-quibbles with Waterfield's Presocratics, being easy to dip into while still being thoroughlt referenced.

OWC also does cheap parallel-text editions of the complete poetry of both Catullus and Tibullus (perfectly fine translations), and their edition of Cavafy da bess.
