In gratitude to the irresistible, all-connecting Mother of Necessity, I offer up a transcription of The Myth of Er excerpted from Book X of Plato's Republic. The main body of the text is from Benjamin Jowett's 1888 translation, but I have also collected Thomas Taylor's 1804 commentary (including his translation of Proclus' interesting and valuable commentary) on the text.
