Plato's Republic

This mod includes:

• []The 10 Books of Plato's Republic

  []Greek and English side by side, divided by section headers (ie. '327a')

• A new default, greek-character enabled font (if you see a bunch of ???????s, check your FONT0003. SDF.ttf file)

  In the other Greek/English Interlinear mod I added for the NT Gospels, someone mentioned the desire to get the same treatment for Plato's Republic. I completely agree! How can one possibly understand the NT definition of something like 'justice' without the cultural context of Socrates', Thrasymarchus' and fan-favorite Glaukon's lavish dinner party musings? Not being facetious, important stuff!

  Sadly, I couldn't find a good, free interlinear text that wasn't in some esoteric non-unicode pdf from the Clinton era. So, shout out to perseus.tufts.edu's poor server for providing me with sectioned greek and sectioned english full texts I could zipper into something presentable myself. It only crashed about 6 times. That said, because I put this together with a script if you see anything odd, let me know.

  And in the book reader, it'll look like this:

  (327a) Σωκράτης κατέβην χθὲς εἰς Πειραιᾶ μετὰ Γλαύκωνος τοῦ Ἀρίστωνος προσευξόμενός τε τῇ θεῷ καὶ ἅμα τὴν ἑορτὴν βουλόμενος θεάσασθαι τίνα τρόπον ποιήσουσιν ἅτε νῦν πρῶτον ἄγοντες. καλὴ μὲν οὖν μοι καὶ ἡ τῶν ἐπιχωρίων πομπὴ ἔδοξεν εἶναι, οὐ μέντοι ἧττον ἐφαίνετο πρέπειν ἣν οἱ Θρᾷκες ἔπεμπον.

  (327a) Socrates I went down yesterday to the Peiraeus with Glaucon, the son of Ariston, to pay my devotions to the Goddess, and also because I wished to see how they would conduct the festival since this was its inauguration. I thought the procession of the citizens very fine, but it was no better than the show, made by the marching of the Thracian contingent.

  Feel free to drop a comment if you want any other books done.
