/lit/'s incessant nagging that I start with the Greeks did nothing to make me want to start reading them. It ended up being Michael Sugrue's lectures on YouTube that sparked my interest in Plato's work. Here's a taste:https://youtu.be/8rf3uqDj00A?si=WB2QiRlmCKRlFNTdHere's the full set of lectures:https://ia800402.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/34/items/great-minds-of-the-western-intellectual-tradition-1st-ed/TTC%20-%20Plato%2C%20Socrates%20and%20the%20Dialogues.zipWhat are some other good lectures and/or discussions on Plato's Dialogues that will provide more insight?
>>25044760You can just read themDon't waste your time with lectures
>>25044766What you mean is I *could* just read them and the condition is that I not care about deepening my understanding of them by listening to another's interpretation, which I do.But I'm sure it would be a waste of time for someone as wise as you to listen to what anyone has to say but Plato himself.
>>25044760Here's some good secondary sources
>>25044779Anyone who has read Plato knows lectures are a waste of time and unless you have already read Plato.
>>25044760why hasnt anyone taken platos greek text run it through an llm to translate to english to avoid copyrights then made aislop videos of acting out the dialogues
