The original publication of Rowe's translation in 1995 was a landmark event in the study of this fascinating but enigmatic dialogue. Based on a careful and convincing revised Greek text, the contemporary English of this unpretentious, clear, and -- above all -- accurate version makes it by far the best available. In fact, Rowe's translation is now and will surely remain the only acceptable choice. -- John Cooper, Stuart Professor of Philosophy, Princeton University.
