It's great to listen to Robin Waterfield again. His new book on Plato is, of course, interesting. Then towards the end, I was thrilled to hear that he is translating Aesop - that fits in with his interest in children's books as well as his enthusiasm for translation. His translation of Iamblichus's Theology of Arithmetic is my favourite so far, but Aesop may prove to be equally, or more, stimulating and refreshing.
Thank you, Massimo, for bringing him to Figs in Winter again and bringing us news of his latest work.

That was a very informative discussion. I am currently reading his biography of Plato and thoroughly enjoying it.
