Book:

Dike Phonou: The Right of Prosecution and Attic Homicide Procedure. BzA 76. (Stuttgart, 1996):

Introduction       Ch. 1: Drakon’s Code       Ch. 2: Ps.-Demosthenes 47.68-73

Ch. 3: Plato, Euthyphro 3E7-5D7        Conclusion and Bibliography

This book contains a detailed examination of a key aspect of Attic homicide procedure (viz., the question of who was entitled to prosecute a homicide in a dike phonou) and demonstrates that the right of prosecution was, indeed, restricted to the family of the victim (or to the master in the case of slaves). In the course of this, a thorough study is made of the dramatic context of Plato’s Euthyphro and of the relevance of this dramatic context for a correct interpretation of the dialogue.

“On the Refutation of Polemarchus: Analysis and Dialectic in Republic I.” Elenchos 26.2, 2005, 277-316

(This paper contains a detailed examination of an important passage in Republic Book I, and seeks to demonstrate that analysis (as opposed to synthesis) originated in Plato’s use of dialectic. This paper then demonstrates, to the extent that demonstration in such matters is attainable, that Republic I was from the outset conceived as a prologue to the dialogue as a whole, and that it was not itself an independent dialogue tacked on to the rest at a later stage.  In both cases the claim is made that the proofs advanced are more or less definitive.)
