Open Plato Project Releases First Dialogue

A new, open access, annotated edition of Plato’s Alcibiades is now available online.

The dialogue is the first release from the Open Plato Project, whose mission is “to widen the audience of people who are able to find joy and meaning” in ancient Greek philosophical texts.

Marc Gasser-Wingate (Boston University), one of the scholars working on the project, writes:

This digital edition includes two new translations: one aimed at first-time readers, and another at those who might seek a deeper dive into the text. It includes accompanying commentaries, a glossary, and a modular display for both Greek and English text. We are still working on some additional features, including printable versions of the scholarly translation and commentary, and an audio recording of the dialogue.
