An acquaintance of the Athenian statesman Perikles, Protagoras was invited to a symposium held at his residence in Athens. There, he participated in a debate with the playwright Hermippos, who urged him to drink more. Protagoras and Hermippos were later joined by the misthios Kassandra, who provided her thoughts about Kleon.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Perikles's Symposium A while later, Protagoras was one of the guests to greet Aspasia, Perikles' partner, upon her arrival.
