Sup, you beautiful /lit/erates? I'm conflicted as to what to choose. The Oxford one includes the Sophists like Protagoras, which the Penguin one lacks, but the Penguin one is edited by Jonathan Barnes, who's a legend as far as classical studies go. So, help me out, please, will ya? Which one should I choose?

PS.: No matter who you are, I love and I'd totally suck your dick. ;)

I love the few OWC I have they are way nicer then penguin classics.

I usually go for the Oxford editions of classic texts if I don't want to compare too much. Their texts and footnotes are usually pretty good.
>>
>>9267421

cambridge editions are pretty standard for academic or scholarly uses.
>>
>>9267421
if you're looking for sophists, Penguin Classics has an entirely separate book dedicated to them.

This is the only correct answer, not positivist and secular interpretations, just text.

Thanks guys

Found it thanks man.

I have and read the Oxford one. I don't really know what the authors are working with, they give interpretation of the Philosopher's works and some fragments.

I'd say check out >>9267746
but I think at least I can vouch for Oxford as a good quick primer before getting into Plato.
>>
>>9267421
Oxford, it's the better book. Penguin's translation isn't as good.

Is Diels-Kranz definitely too old ?
>>
>>9267892
would appreciate your help in finding it anon, if you don't mind
>>
>>9268444
no, it still includes basically everything
>>
I know it doesn't matter, but damn the Penguin covers are so nice.
>>
>>9267421
I got the first one and it was alright. I think I'll have to go back and read it again though.
