PLATO'S dialogue translated and arranged by Francis Kinchin Smith
Produced by RAYNER HEPPENSTALL
This is the first of seven Plato dialogues to be broadcast during the summer and autumn. It is an early dialogue and in tone it is lightly satirical. Protagoras was a sophist or professional teacher. Like Socrates, he was in his old age denounced for atheism and in attempting to escape by sea, drowned. Of this fate there is no hint in the present dialogue.
Further Plato dialogues to be broadcast are: The Republic, The Symposium, Phaedrus, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo.
