Das Problem des platonischen Symposion.
by August Ritter von Kleemann
About the author
August Ritter von Kleemann was a German scholar of classical literature whose published work centers on Greek texts, especially Plato and Euripides. Records available online connect him with studies such as Das Problem des platonischen Symposion and school-oriented commentaries on Euripides, showing a strong interest in making demanding ancient works easier to follow.
His writing appears to sit at the meeting point of philosophy and philology: close reading, careful argument, and attention to how classical texts were taught. That makes him a useful author for listeners interested not only in the ancient world itself, but also in the long tradition of interpreting and explaining it.
Detailed biographical information about his life is not easy to confirm from the sources found here, so the clearest picture comes from his books. Even from that limited record, he stands out as a serious and thoughtful guide to Greek thought and drama.
