 1 Euthyd|                                     Euthydemus~
 2 Euthyd|                    INTRODUCTION~The Euthydemus, though apt to be regarded
 3 Euthyd|       argument of the dialogue.~The Euthydemus is, of all the Dialogues
 4 Euthyd|         great discourse. But in the Euthydemus the mask is never dropped;
 5 Euthyd|          brothers, Dionysodorus and Euthydemus, are the chief performers.
 6 Euthyd|          Cleinias. ‘Cleinias,’ says Euthydemus, ‘who learn, the wise or
 7 Euthyd|            And do they learn,’ said Euthydemus, ‘what they know or what
 8 Euthyd|              and request their aid.~Euthydemus argues that Socrates knows
 9 Euthyd|       statement: he will believe if Euthydemus will tell him how many teeth
10 Euthyd|          piece of information about Euthydemus. Even Socrates is incredulous,
11 Euthyd|     Socrates appeals to his brother Euthydemus; at the same time he acknowledges
12 Euthyd|           his puppies.’~‘But,’ says Euthydemus, unabashed, ‘nobody wants
13 Euthyd|                Do you see,’ retorts Euthydemus, ‘what has the quality of
14 Euthyd|    indifference of Dionysodorus and Euthydemus to public opinion; for most
15 Euthyd|             likely to get mauled by Euthydemus and his friends, and have
16 Euthyd|     description of Dionysodorus and Euthydemus suggests to him the reflection
17 Euthyd|        which Plato satirises in the Euthydemus. The fallacies which are
18 Euthyd|   appreciate fully the drift of the Euthydemus, we should imagine a mental
19 Euthyd|           the intended scene of the Euthydemus could not have been earlier
20 Euthyd|           subtlety is attributed to Euthydemus, who sees the trap in which
21 Euthyd|             spirit of philosophy as Euthydemus and Dionysodorus. The Eclectic,
22 Euthyd|    ridicules in the epilogue to the Euthydemus are of this class. They
23 Euthyd|             reasons for placing the Euthydemus early in the series are: (
24 Euthyd|            family likeness; (2) the Euthydemus belongs to the Socratic
25 Euthyd|          favour of assigning to the Euthydemus any other position in the
26 Euthyd|                                     EUTHYDEMUS~PERSONS OF THE DIALOGUE:
27 Euthyd|          Dialogue. Crito, Cleinias, Euthydemus, Dionysodorus, Ctesippus.~
28 Euthyd|            whom you mean, Crito, is Euthydemus; and on my left hand there
29 Euthyd|       little while the two brothers Euthydemus and Dionysodorus came in,
30 Euthyd|      describe; and Dionysodorus and Euthydemus, when they saw him, at first
31 Euthyd| particularly watched them; and then Euthydemus came and sat down by the
32 Euthyd|              Here are two wise men, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, Cleinias,
33 Euthyd|           of them laughed; and then Euthydemus said: Those, Socrates, are
34 Euthyd|        about this, Dionysodorus and Euthydemus? the promise is so vast,
35 Euthyd|             from Cleinias; and when Euthydemus leaned forward in talking
36 Euthyd|            well as the disciples of Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, followed
37 Euthyd|            persons whom I showed to Euthydemus, telling him that they were
38 Euthyd|          his wisdom. Then I said: O Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, I earnestly
39 Euthyd|       expressions which I used; and Euthydemus, in a manly and at the same
40 Euthyd|           Memory and the Muses. Now Euthydemus, if I remember rightly,
41 Euthyd|          who learned were the wise.~Euthydemus proceeded: There are some
42 Euthyd|        these words the followers of Euthydemus, of whom I spoke, like a
43 Euthyd|             and your last answer to Euthydemus was wrong.~Then once more
44 Euthyd|             were silent and amazed. Euthydemus, observing this, determined
45 Euthyd|     Meanwhile Cleinias had answered Euthydemus that those who learned learn
46 Euthyd|           youth. Cleinias, he said, Euthydemus is deceiving you. For tell
47 Euthyd|             and not those who know.~Euthydemus was proceeding to give the
48 Euthyd|            with you first. And now, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, I think
49 Euthyd|          turned to Dionysodorus and Euthydemus and said: That is an example,
50 Euthyd|            wish Cleinias to perish?~Euthydemus replied: And do you think,
51 Euthyd|             of you and no lie.~Yes, Euthydemus, said Ctesippus; but in
52 Euthyd|          this, he says what is not.~Euthydemus answered: And that which
53 Euthyd|           is true and what is.~Yes, Euthydemus, said Ctesippus; but he
54 Euthyd|       things of the great, rejoined Euthydemus, and warm things of the
55 Euthyd|         impossible?~Very true, said Euthydemus.~Neither did I tell you
56 Euthyd|             do that which is not?~O Euthydemus, I said, I have but a dull
57 Euthyd|           however, Dionysodorus and Euthydemus, that this argument lies
58 Euthyd|            opinion he needs neither Euthydemus nor any one else to be his
59 Euthyd|           were not spoken either by Euthydemus or Dionysodorus. I dare
60 Euthyd|           happiness.~CRITO: And did Euthydemus show you this knowledge?~
61 Euthyd|         pretty clatter, as men say, Euthydemus, this of yours! and will
62 Euthyd|      convicted, he said.~Well, but, Euthydemus, I said, has that never
63 Euthyd|          you tell me how many teeth Euthydemus has? and Euthydemus shall
64 Euthyd|           teeth Euthydemus has? and Euthydemus shall tell how many teeth
65 Euthyd|           my incredulity, and asked Euthydemus whether Dionysodorus could
66 Euthyd|           we could not believe. And Euthydemus said: You are incredulous,
67 Euthyd|            I was intending to go to Euthydemus as a pupil, I reflected
68 Euthyd|           dialectician than myself, Euthydemus, for I have never made a
69 Euthyd|           be of that mind, reverend Euthydemus, I said, if you are really
70 Euthyd|            that I know such things, Euthydemus, as that the good are unjust;
71 Euthyd|          ruining the argument, said Euthydemus to Dionysodorus; he will
72 Euthyd|            said, What do you think, Euthydemus? Does not your omniscient
73 Euthyd|         moment; am I the brother of Euthydemus?~Thereupon I said, Please
74 Euthyd|             good friend, or prevent Euthydemus from proving to me that
75 Euthyd|         from learning the wisdom of Euthydemus.~Then answer me, he said.~
76 Euthyd|             I replied.~For if, said Euthydemus, taking up the argument,
77 Euthyd|         father?~Assuredly not, said Euthydemus.~Then he is the same?~He
78 Euthyd|           but is he only my father, Euthydemus, or is he the father of
79 Euthyd|          are not ‘in pari materia,’ Euthydemus, said Ctesippus, and you
80 Euthyd|         good.~And have you no need, Euthydemus? he said.~Neither I nor
81 Euthyd|           Ctesippus said: Quite so, Euthydemus, that is to say, if he who
82 Euthyd|        Ctesippus; and do you think, Euthydemus, that he ought to have one
83 Euthyd|            have known better...Here Euthydemus held his peace, but Dionysodorus
84 Euthyd|            gold in either eye?~Yes, Euthydemus, said Ctesippus; and the
85 Euthyd|            that which has not? said Euthydemus.~That which has the quality
86 Euthyd|             not see; and certainly, Euthydemus, you do seem to me to have
87 Euthyd|           When you are silent, said Euthydemus, is there not a silence
88 Euthyd|         silent?~Certainly not, said Euthydemus.~Then, my good friend, do
89 Euthyd|              That brother of yours, Euthydemus, has got into a dilemma;
90 Euthyd|             you are the bottom, and Euthydemus is the top, of all my wisdom.~
91 Euthyd|          pleased?~I did admit that, Euthydemus, and I have no way of escape.~
92 Euthyd|            to admire in your words, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, but there
93 Euthyd|             am not like-minded with Euthydemus, but one of the other sort,
94 Euthyd|             are apt to be mauled by Euthydemus and his friends, when they
