One character in this work notes that different kinds of bees are all still bees in response to another character's list of ideal qualities of men and women.
One character in this work notes that different kinds of bees are all still bees in response to another character's list of ideal qualities of men and women. One character in this work discusses some contradictory verses of Theognis, and he is compared to a stingray which paralyzes its victims. That man also appeals to Empedocles' theory of effluvia to justify his contention that shape always accompanies color. He ponders why sons may not be as accomplished as their fathers, and tries to trick Anytus into agreeing that those who want to learn virtue should hire a Sophist. In order to prove that all learning is recollection, one character in this dialogue helps a slave boy realize that using the diagonal of a square as the side of a new square leads to a doubling in size. For 10 points, name this dialogue of Plato in which Socrates and the title aristocrat fail to define virtue.
