Bibliography for Ancient Greek Philosophy - UW-Parkside: Help for ...

BIBLIOGRAPHY
The mention of a book or article in the bibliography can be taken as a recommendation for it. Included
are good translations of primary sources, and the most interesting and important secondary sources. Most of
the latter are here because they influenced my exposition, but some argue for interesting views with which I
disagree. I have restricted myself for the most part to works in English.

Adkins, A.W.H. (1960). Merit and Responsibility. Oxford. An excellent treatment of Greek ethical thought
before the fourth century, working from literary texts. Its conclusions may be somewhat overdrawn,
though many critics seem to overreact, and insist on misunderstanding them. For judicious correction,
see Lloyd-Jones (1971) and A.A. Long (1970).

Anthes, Rudolf (1961). “Mythology in Ancient Egypt.” In Mythologies of the Ancient World, edited by Samuel
Noah Kramer (Garden City, New York: Doubleday), pp. 15-92. An interesting overview, though his
remarks about the general nature of Egyptian myths are unduly influenced by the notion of
“mythopoeic thought.”
