Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Plato's Studies and Criticisms of the Poets Xenophon tells us further9 - and his statement is im portant for the present purpose - that Socrates was accused of selecting the worst passages from the most famous poets and making them a basis for harmful teachings.10 Several verses from the Iliad11 and one from Hesiod12 are then cited which Socrates was charged with perverting. It appears, then, that Socrates was a lover and a student especially of Homer but also of the other poets. All this we might of course fairly expect of a seeker after wisdom who lived in the age of Pericles and numbered among his acquaintance a Nicer'atus,13 who knew by heart both the Iliad and the Odyssey.
