A bridge between ancient wisdom and modern minds, Eryxias speaks with the quiet authority of a timeless conversation. A short, potent philosophical dialogue that asks what wealth is for, and what justice demands of those who acquire it.This classic work offers a concise yet sweeping meditation on virtue and wealth, ethics and money, set in the world of ancient Greece and the Greek philosophical tradition. It rewards philosophy students and curious readers of classical literature alike with crisp argument, Socratic method, and a lucid exploration of how money tests character and community. Not just a historical text, it remains a living prompt for reflection on money, power, and responsibility in any era.Eryxias stands as both literary artefact and cultural conversation partner. Its significance rests in how it synthesises ancient ethics with perennial questions, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors to engage with a foundational strand of the Greek ethical tradition. The work has endured as a touchstone for discussions of wealth and justice, virtue and wealth, and the ways philosophy shapes daily life.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.
