“Taylor was the first to translate into English the complete extant works of Plátohn and Aristotǽlis (Aristotle; Gr. Ἀριστοτέλης ) , as well as much of Prόklos (Proclus; Gr. Πρόκλος ) , Porphýrios (Porphyry: G. Πορφύριος ) , Plohtínos (Plotinus; Gr. Πλωτῖνος ) , Pafsanías (Pausanias; Gr. Παυσανίας ) , Iámvlikhos (Iamblichus; Gr. Ἰάμβλιχος ) , and others, a monumental body of work. Taylor also wrote [partially] excellent commentaries for each of his translations as well as many independent essays such as his dissertations on the rights of animals and the ancient Mysteries.”
(p. 3-4)
“Modern readers have criticized Taylor (and other translators from the 1800s) for using words such as thee and thou, believing that he was trying to imitate King James Biblical language. This is [partly] entirely false; these words are part of the English vernacular and such language can be seen as recently as 1969 in the dialogue found in the film Kes, directed by Ken Loach, the actors having authentic Yorkshire accents and dialect and the extras having been recruited locally from Barnsley [4]. Words such
as thee and thou flow freely from the mouths of the ordinary locals in a most amazing display. Kes clearly
demonstrates that the use of these words is entirely secular and has not even disappeared in parts of
England.
Another unfair criticism of Taylor's translation is his use of the Roman names for the Gods rather than the
Greek, but it must be understood that the language of scholars in his lifetime was Latin, not Greek, so
Taylor was simply following the convention of the Georgian period. It is said that in the confines of his
home, Taylor and his wife spoke ancient Greek [partly] entirely.”

These look quite interesting. What are the names of Taylor's work, I would like to see if I can get a copy, or at least see that it is available.

Very informative but a bit beyond me I'm afraid.
