This well-worn volume from the Cornell Studies in Classical Philology series offers a glimpse into the theological underpinnings of Plato’s philosophical works. Published in 1942, it represents a scholarly effort to synthesize the religious and mythological elements woven throughout the dialogues of the ancient Greek philosopher. While the author remains unknown, the book’s condition speaks to its status as a cherished reference, pored over by generations of scholars and students alike. The creased spine and marked pages are a testament to the enduring fascination with Plato’s metaphysical musings and their influence on Western thought. For collectors, this edition holds value not only as a piece of classical scholarship but also as a tangible link to the intellectual discourse of the mid-20th century, when the study of ancient philosophy experienced a resurgence in academic circles.
