Happy birthday, anon. I don't see the appeal of Plato, but hope you enjoy it.

Would've been better spent on a Greek textbook and Loeb Plato. English Plato is so shit compared to Plato once you know even a little Greek.

Plato isn't going to care that you don't read his works in the original Greek, the guy has been dead for over two thousand years.
