Dialogue

 1 Repub|          Piraeus with Glaucon, the son of Ariston, that I might
 2 Repub|           instant Polemarchus, the son of Cephalus, chanced to
 3 Repub|            brother, Niceratus, the son of Nicias, and several others
 4 Repub|      Paeanian, and Cleitophon, the son of Aristonymus. There too
 5 Repub|       heaven which Musaeus and his son vouchsafe to the just; they
 6 Repub|       sufferings which in turn his son inflicted upon him, even
 7 Repub|     this-he it is who has slain my son." ~These are the kind of
 8 Repub|          this reason the loss of a son or brother, or the deprivation
 9 Repub|        depict Achilles, who is the son of a goddess, first lying
10 Repub|         the hands of Patroclus the son of Menoetius." ~For if,
11 Repub|          wise Cheiron's pupil, the son of a goddess and of Peleus
12 Repub|     repeated, the tale of Theseus, son of Poseidon, or of Peirithous,
13 Repub|        Poseidon, or of Peirithous, son of Zeus, going forth as
14 Repub|            or of any other hero or son of a god daring to do such
15 Repub|            father would use to his son, and then only for a noble
16 Repub| acknowledge that Asclepius was the son of Apollo, say also that
17 Repub|        tell us both; if he was the son of a god, we maintain that
18 Repub|         avaricious, he was not the son of a god. ~All that, Socrates,
19 Repub|            sometimes have a silver son, or a silver parent a golden
20 Repub|           a silver parent a golden son. And God proclaims as a
21 Repub|        their offspring; for if the son of a golden or silver parent
22 Repub|         amid all this, is justice? Son of Ariston, tell me where.
23 Repub|       story is, that Leontius, the son of Aglaion, coming up one
24 Repub|          their sons or fathers, or son's son or father's father,
25 Repub|          sons or fathers, or son's son or father's father, and
26 Repub|            or father or mother, or son or daughter, or as the child
27 Repub|         the other father, brother, son; and if you suppose the
28 Repub|       distinguish between the true son and the bastard? for where
29 Repub|           imagine a supposititious son who is brought up in great
30 Repub|     follows: He is often the young son of a brave father, who dwells
31 Repub|         trouble. ~And how does the son come into being? ~The character
32 Repub|       being? ~The character of the son begins to develop when he
33 Repub|           annoyed, and says to her son that his father is only
34 Repub|          in the same strain to the son; and if they see anyone
35 Repub|  representative of timocracy has a son: at first he begins by emulating
36 Repub|      Nothing more likely. ~And the son has seen and known all this-he
37 Repub|         not this the way-he is the son of the miserly and oligarchical
38 Repub|          and to fear them, and the son is on a level with his father,
39 Repub|           and aver that a grown-up son ought not to be supported
40 Repub|         should be supported by the son? The father did not bring
41 Repub|             in order that when his son became a man he should himself
42 Repub|           companions; but that his son should protect him, and
43 Repub|         out of the house a riotous son and his undesirable associates. ~
44 Repub|            that he is weak and his son strong. ~Why, you do not
45 Repub|           such as he is, to have a son, who is brought up in his
46 Repub|        same thing to happen to the son which has already happened
47 Repub|         then, I said, a tyrannical son is a blessing to his father
48 Repub|          shall I announce that the son of Ariston (the best) has
49 Repub|            that a man who sold his son or daughter into slavery
50 Repub|         the misfortune to lose his son or anything else which is
51 Repub|           a tale of a hero, Er the son of Armenius, a Pamphylian
52 Repub|           was the soul of Ajax the son of Telamon, who would not
