A review by bird_smuggler
The Harvard Classics, Volume 2: The Apology, Phaedo and Crito of Plato, the Golden sayings of Epictetus, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius by Marcus Aurelius, Hastings Crossley, Charles W. Eliot, Plato, George Long, Epictetus, Benjamin Jowett

5.0

I'm already vaguely familiar with Plato's works about the life and death of Socrates and very familiar with the works of Epictetus and Aurelius, with Aurelius being basically my life's guidebook for many years now; as such, I can't recommend this volume enough. Socrates teaches us how to be honorable in life and in death, while Epictetus and Aurelius teach us to accept the troubles of life and treat ourselves more equitably in the face of the things we go through. Absolutely essential.
