Praise is such an important element in Socrates' funeral speech that it is not enough to praise the fallen soldiers, but their parents, ancestors, Athens, and mother Attica. Furthermore, it is claimed that because Attica is god-loved, all people should praise Attica as well. Socrates' forensic evidence for all this is preposterous. One might almost suspect that Socrates is making a point about the nature of rhetoric.

Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.

The resulting analyses may be found at:

The full analyses include Euthyphro, Io, Hippias Minor, and Lysis, with extract/summaries from my books on Hippias Major, Meno, and Politeia (Republic)
