Plato: Alcibiades, Paperback

Plato's Alcibiades represents Socrates, the exemplary philosopher, trying to win for philosophy the youthful Alcibiades, who later became the exemplary man of unscrupulous action. Although the dialogue was widely admired in antiquity as the very best introduction to Plato, this is the first commentary to be published in modern times.
