Role: Translator
His first teaching position was as a tutor in the Great Books program at St. John鈥檚 College in Annapolis (1955鈥�57). During this period he contributed translations of Aeschylus鈥� The Suppliant Maidens and The Persians to the Chicago University Press鈥檚 series of The Complete Greek Tragedies, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore.
Theaetetus, the Sophist, and the Statesman are a trilogy of Platonic dialogues that show Socrates formulating his conception of philosophy as he prepares the defense for his trial. Originally published together as The Being of the Beautiful, Bernadente’s translations can be read separately or as a trilogy. Each includes an introduction, extensive notes, and comprehensive commentary that examines the trilogy’s motifs and relationships.
