Editing Plato (section)

=== Authenticity ===
{{further|Pseudo-Platonica}}
Thirty-five dialogues and thirteen letters (the [[Epistles (Plato)|''Epistles'']]) have traditionally been ascribed to Plato, though modern scholarship doubts the authenticity of at least some of these. There is a broad consensus among scholarship to doubt the authenticity of ''[[Second Alcibiades|Alcibiades II]]'', ''[[Epinomis]]'', ''[[Hipparchus (dialogue)|Hipparchus]]'', ''[[Minos (dialogue)|Minos]]'', ''[[Rival Lovers|Lovers]]'', and ''[[Theages]]'', while the opinion on ''[[First Alcibiades|Alcibiades I]]'',''[[Clitophon (dialogue)|Clitophon]]'', ''[[Epistles (Plato)|Letters]]'', and ''[[Menexenus (dialogue)|Menexenus]]'' is more divided.{{sfn|Cooper|1997|pp=v–vi}} The following works were transmitted under Plato's name in antiquity, but were already considered spurious by the 1st century AD: ''[[Axiochus (dialogue)|Axiochus]]'', ''[[Definitions (Plato)|Definitions]]'', ''[[Demodocus (dialogue)|Demodocus]]'', ''[[Epigrams (Plato)|Epigrams]]'', ''[[Eryxias (dialogue)|Eryxias]]'', ''[[Halcyon (dialogue)|Halcyon]]'', ''[[On Justice]]'', ''[[On Virtue]]'', ''[[Sisyphus (dialogue)|Sisyphus]]''.{{sfn|Cooper|1997}}
