I hope that he may but I rather fear, Socrates, that the opposite will turn out to be the truth.
This is only the first step he will afterwards attend to the elder branches and if he goes on as he has begun, he will be a very great public benefactor. Of all our political men he is the only one who seems to me to begin in the right way, with the cultivation of virtue in youth like a good husbandman, he makes the young shoots his first care, and clears away us who are the destroyers of them. And of this our mother the state is to be the judge. I fancy that he must be a wise man, and seeing that I am the reverse of a wise man, he has found me out, and is going toĪccuse me of corrupting his young friends. He says he knows how the youth are corrupted and who are their corruptors. What is the charge? Well, a very serious charge, which shows a good deal of character in the young man, and for which he is certainly not to be despised. But what is the charge which he brings against you? Soc. Perhaps you may remember his appearance he has a beak, and long straight hair, and a beard which is ill grown. A young man who is little known, Euthyphro and I hardly know him: his name is Meletus, and he is of the deme of Pitthis. Then some one else has been prosecuting you? Soc. What! I suppose that some one has been prosecuting you, for I cannot believe that you are the prosecutor of another. Not in a suit, Euthyphro impeachment is the word which the Athenians use. Why have you left the Lyceum, Socrates? and what are you doing in the Porch of the King Archon? Surely you cannot be concerned in a suit before the King, like myself? Socrates.

Source: Wikipedia Also available on Feedbooks for Plato: They have historically been used to teach philosophy, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, and other subjects about which he wrote. Plato is thought to have lectured at the Academy, although the pedagogical function of his dialogues, if any, is not known with certainty. Some of the dialogues, letters, and other works that are ascribed to him are considered spurious. Plato's brilliance as a writer and thinker can be witnessed by reading his Socratic dialogues. Plato is widely believed to have been a student of Socrates and to have been deeply influenced by his teacher's unjust death. Plato was also a mathematician, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the western world.
