'This book makes a valuable contribution to the interpretation of Plato's Statesman, especially in regard to its relationship to the Philebus.' Journal of Hellenic Studies 'There is plenty to be grateful for in this book, especially in its account of the centrality of the myth in the dialogue, and as a thorough investigation of a difficult dialogue.' The Heythrop Journal 'White's observations are detailed and often incisive, greater in number than could be summed up in a brief review, and there is much to reward even the reader who is not persuaded by the overall argument.' Ancient Philosophy 'While this book is, at times difficult to read, it is worth it to the scholar of Plato to work through the text in order to consider White's astute observations and unique interpretations.'
