Besides, the volume shows how such a semantic description can contribute to the analysis and study of our sources: it investigates how speakers in our texts (ab)use the term to achieve their ends, covering most of the main texts, and culminating in a chapter on the dialogues of Plato.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969756479639,"sku":"9789004142510","price":25451.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004142510.webp?v=1782923852","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sophrosyne-and-the-rhetoric-of-self-restraint-polysemy-persuasive-use-of-an-ancient-greek-value-term-9789004142510","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
