Just a suggestion to fellow students: I had a lot of mindless clerical work to do this week, so I decided to try getting a bit of a head start by listening to a reading of Jowett’s translation of the text while I worked. I’m not normally a fan of audiobooks as I can read silently faster than anyone can read out loud, and I usually have trouble listening passively to spoken word for extended periods, but in this case, I found it to be a big help. When I did finally get to sit down and read the passage, I found it much easier to follow than I think it would have been otherwise. I am now firmly in the camp that these dialogues were meant to be performed.
I absolutely, 100% agree. I was listening to Laws X today on my way to and from MicroCenter in traffic…
