Plato's Definitions and Epigrams / Πλάτωνος Ὅροι καὶ Ἐπιγράμματα

by PLATO (ΠΛΆΤΩΝ) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE)

Definitions is a dictionary of 184 terms, originated in Plato’s Academy. Until late antiquity Plato was named as the author of this work, but in the anonymous Prolegomena to Platonic Philosophy, 10. 26. 4 Speusippus is mentioned as the author. The 32 Epigrams are attributed to Plato and are short poems written in the form of elegiac couplets. (Summary by Maria Sozopoulou) Οἱ Ὅροι εἶναι ἕνα λεξικὸ μὲ 184 ὅρους, τὸ ὁποῖο προέρχεται ἀπὸ τὴν Πλατωνικὴ Ἀκαδημία. Μέχρι καὶ τὴν ὕστερη ἀρχαιότητα συγγραφέας τῶν Ὅρων θεωρεῖτο ὁ Πλάτων, ὅμως στὸ ἔργο τοῦ ἀνωνύμου Προλεγόμενα τῆς Πλάτωνος φιλοσοφίας, 10. 26. 4 ἀναφέρεται ὡς συγγραφέας ὁ Σπεύσιππος. Τὰ 32 Ἐπιγράμματα ἀποδίδονται στὸν Πλάτωνα. Πρόκειται γιὰ μικρὰ ποιήματα γραμμένα σὲ ἐλεγειακὸ δίστιχο.
