Olympiodorus’ Commentary on the Phaedo, a reprint (with updates) of Westerink’s 1976 text, translation and notes.
Olympiodorus’ Commentary on the Phaedo is actually a set of lecture notes taken, it is assumed, from Olympiodorus’ work in the Alexandrian Academy in the last years of that institution. It covers the relation of the soul – especially that of the philosopher – to life and death, as well as dealing with the first three of the five arguments for immortality outlined in the dialogue. Westerink’s text, translation and notes are exemplary.
