Who are the best translators for Plato? I'm reading the Hackett edition now, and it's fine to read from for comprehension (I've only read Grubes translations so far) but I've heard there are translations that better show Plato's poetic skill. Grube's translations are fine for a first read I believe, but I'd like something with better writing for the next.

Reeve's Republic is pretty good IMO, but that's the only translation of it I've read.
