The Myth of Er

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.

You can find the PDF in US Letter and A4 paper sizes.
