The Plato Paradigm
An incautious reader of the dialogue might conclude that the entire discussion between Socrates, Lysis, and Menexenus, is a demonstration for Hippothales' benefit, designed to prove that the one lusted should love the one lusting. Hippothales, at least, is reportedly delighted with the result. The boys are not so happy. As for Socrates, he does not reveal his utter frustration with the mental sluggishness of his various audiences. Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go. The resulting analyses may be found at: https://theplatoparadigm.com [https://theplatoparadigm.com/]
