 503 2    |           true to nature or not. For men say that the young of all

 507 2    |            educated women, and young men, and people in general,
 508 2    |            And I believe that we old men would have the greatest

 511 2    |      performed in play; just as when men are sick and ailing in their
 512 2    |          brave and in every way good men.~Cleinias. But do you really
 513 2    |            to say that there are bad men who lead pleasant lives,
 514 2    |           fame, coming from Gods and men, though good and noble,
 515 2    |        lasting, but a thing of which men are hard to be persuaded.~
 516 2    |         Athenian. The story of armed men springing up after the sowing
 517 2    |            follow the choir of young men under the age of thirty,
 518 2    |          Thirdly, the choir of elder men, who are from thirty to
 519 2    |              Dionysiac chorus of old men, if you really mean that
 520 2    |           and festivity of the elder men, making use of the wine
 521 2    |              wine which he has given men to lighten the sourness
 522 2    |              and you have your young men herding and feeding together
 523 2    |            assigning to the words of men the gestures and songs of
 524 2    |            the rhythms of slaves and men of the baser sort; nor,
 525 2    |             sounds of animals and of men and instruments, and every
 526 2    |         select what are suitable for men of their age and character
 527 2    |   performance, and also lead younger men to welcome with dutiful
 528 2    |             charm the souls of young men in the way of virtue. And
 529 2    |             for which reason he gave men wine. Such traditions concerning
 530 2    |            from this beginning among men, and that Apollo and the
 531 3    |             cities first existed and men were citizens of them?~Cleinias.
 532 3    |        desolation of these primitive men would create in them a feeling
 533 3    |           another of a falsehood, as men do now; but what they heard
 534 3    |            they heard about Gods and men they believed to be true,
 535 3    |         before the deluge, or to the men of our day in these respects,
 536 3    |             explaining what need the men of that time had of laws,
 537 3    |              such states composed of men who had been dispersed in
 538 3    |             to be a city of speaking men; but they were still dwelling
 539 3    |             as land—for at that time men were ceasing to be afraid
 540 3    |               To these kings all the men of that day made oath that
 541 3    |           advantage possessed by the men of that day, which greatly
 542 3    |             intention with which the men of those days framed the
 543 3    |              Athenian. And would not men who had shared with one
 544 3    |        remark, sage friend, that all men, and we ourselves at this
 545 3    |             swim; and to them, as to men of sense, authority is to
 546 3    |              the principles on which men rule and obey in cities,
 547 3    |            and in the absence of the men, too, who were occupied
 548 3    |             sheep, and many herds of men and other animals, but he
 549 3    |            they were in want of more men. And they cannot help being
 550 3    |        lawless innovation. They were men of genius, but they had
 551 3    |            following afterwards, and men, fancying that they knew
 552 3    |             our mention of the first men, who were the survivors
 553 4    |            begetting in the souls of men uncertain and unfaithful
 554 4    |            neighbourhood of fighting men, to be an evil;—lions might
 555 4    |            most honourable thing for men, as the vulgar think, but
 556 4    |        united with that of the chief men of the state; and when the
 557 4    |            said to have excelled all men in the power of speech,
 558 4    |           are merely aggregations of men dwelling in cities who are
 559 4    |              God who rules over wise men.~Cleinias. And who is this
 560 4    |    reflection led him to appoint not men but demigods, who are of
 561 4    |          failing, made the tribes of men happy and united. And this
 562 4    |             more the point at issue. Men say that the law ought not
 563 4    |              things, and not man, as men commonly say (Protagoras):
 564 4    |               and is accepted of all men, when he sits down on the
 565 4    |         often compelled to represent men of opposite dispositions,
 566 4    |              honours which the young men in the state give to the
 567 5    |             into the likeness of bad men, and growing like them to
 568 5    |              do and suffer what such men by nature do and say to
 569 5    |           disgraceful; for where old men have no shame, there young
 570 5    |           have no shame, there young men will most certainly be devoid
 571 5    |             to be pitied by Gods and men. Wherefore, also, he who
 572 5    |              thing, both to Gods and men; and he who would be blessed
 573 5    |             the second is worth many men, because he informs the
 574 5    |            be honoured as the man of men, and he who is willing,
 575 5    |             of a truth deemed by all men the most honourable. In
 576 5    |            wherefore I say that good men ought, when occasion demands,
 577 5    |           which in the souls of most men is innate, and which a man
 578 5    |              Through a similar error men are induced to fancy that
 579 5    |            hope, in the case of good men, that whatever afflictions
 580 5    |            fortunate. Such should be men’s hopes, and such should
 581 5    |         touching the practices which men ought to follow, and as
 582 5    |          spoken, and we must; for to men we are discoursing and not
 583 5    |            dislike. All the lives of men may be regarded by us as
 584 5    |          that the whole multitude of men lack temperance in their
 585 5    |     purification is as follows:—when men who have nothing, and are
 586 5    |              attained. Touching evil men, who want to join and be
 587 5    |           and act in common, and all men express praise and blame
 588 5    |              than one, happy are the men who, living after this manner,
 589 5    |           meet the evil by the elder men giving advice and administering
 590 5    |             following terms:—Best of men, cease not to honour according
 591 5    |         possible to one another. And men who are always at law with
 592 5    |         coincide as they are wanted. Men who will not take offence
 593 5    |       covetousness from the souls of men, so that they can use them
 594 5    |           and that some beget better men and others worse; and we
 595 5    |           only affects the bodies of men for good or evil, but produces
 596 6    |             able to select or reject men whom they approve or disapprove,
 597 6    |          they are not to be inferior men, but the best possible.
 598 6    |            shall propose as generals men who are natives of the city,
 599 6    |              judgment of Zeus; among men it avails but little; that
 600 6    |              who will have a care of men, that they may do no harm,
 601 6    |        served ancient and honourable men in the days of his youth.
 602 6    |           city. These also should be men of influence, and at leisure
 603 6    |            the gymnastic contests of men, shall judge of horses;
 604 6    |            the choruses of boys, and men, and maidens, whom they
 605 6    |            contests of horses and of men; these shall be selected
 606 6    |           wild and tame, and also of men. Man, as we say, is a tame
 607 6    |              Thus far, then, the old men’s rational pastime has gone
 608 6    |           compared with us are young men, we ought not only to legislate
 609 6    |              this applies equally to men and women, old and young—
 610 6    |              which is likely to make men worse. These are our original
 611 6    |              such a marriage as wise men would approve. Now they
 612 6    |              to charm the spirits of men into believing the equability
 613 6    |              the instruction of poor men that he who neither gives
 614 6    |        census of each decreases: all men shall praise him who is
 615 6    |            half the understanding of men whom the day of slavery
 616 6    |           dealings with any class of men to whom he can easily be
 617 6    |             be sending out our young men annually into the country
 618 6    |            the inhabitants, inviting men to run thither instead of
 619 6    |           renewal of trouble. But if men must have walls, the private
 620 6    |          times of pressure. But when men had once tried and been
 621 6    |       Megillus, the common tables of men are, as I said, a heaven–
 622 6    |        nature is inferior to that of men in capacity for virtue,
 623 6    |        institutions relating both to men and women, greatly conduces
 624 6    |               Again, the practice of men sacrificing one another
 625 6    |             blood. For in those days men are said to have lived a
 626 6    |           Athenian. I see that among men all things depend upon three
 627 6    |        sexual lust, which kindles in men every species of wantonness
 628 6    |   associations are to be confined to men, or extended to women also,
 629 6    |              which they can. Now all men who are associated any action
 630 7    |           and savage servitude makes men mean and abject, and haters
 631 7    |            God. Now, I say, he among men, too, who would be divine
 632 7    |              I myself agree that all men ought to avoid the life
 633 7    |             of the children, and the men superintending their education,
 634 7    |              good about the minds of men and the natures of their
 635 7    |              when they grow up to be men, will be different from
 636 7    |          good and evil characters in men? What say you?~Cleinias.
 637 7    |          equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished
 638 7    |             are trained in it better men, whereas the other makes
 639 7    |       suitable to women, and what to men, and must assign to them
 640 7    |              the nature of different men’s souls; seeking truly to
 641 7    |             missiles, at which young men may learn and practise.
 642 7    |              suitable to women as to men. Of the truth of this I
 643 7    |          only ride on horseback like men, but have enjoined upon
 644 7    |             weapons equally with the men. And I further affirm, that
 645 7    |      prevails in our own country, of men and women not following
 646 7    |     education and in other ways with men. For consider;—if women
 647 7    |             in their whole life with men, then they must have some
 648 7    |              would appear to be like men. Let him who will, praise
 649 7    |             the manner of life among men who may be supposed to have
 650 7    |              a return sufficient for men living temperately; who,
 651 7    |           common tables in which the men are placed apart, and near
 652 7    |      dedicated, and then go home? To men whose lives are thus ordered,
 653 7    |             be very well off. And to men living under this second
 654 7    |             honours due to them, and men having a better understanding
 655 7    |              most suitable for young men to hear; I cannot imagine
 656 7    |              learning, and our young men should learn quickly, and
 657 7    |          will consider that if young men have been and are well brought
 658 7    |           their pupils should be the men and boys in the state, and
 659 7    |              and after the manner of men who duly conform to the
 660 7    |            say, they imitate drunken men, and which are named after
 661 7    |          have given to the dances of men who in their times of prosperity
 662 7    |           shall we answer the divine men? I think that our answer
 663 7    |            to be more like pigs than men, and I am quite ashamed,
 664 7    |             you referring?~Athenian. Men say that we ought not to
 665 7    |             all, old as I am, to old men like yourselves.~Cleinias.
 666 7    |         running at Olympia, or about men who ran in the long course,
 667 7    |          runners, though they be but men; and now, to commit the
 668 7    |             erroneous in the case of men—is not that ludicrous and
 669 7    |              make the souls of young men better, and the censure
 670 7    |             now let us address young men in the form of a prayer
 671 7    |           not any desire of catching men and of piracy by sea enter
 672 7    |             with horses and dogs and men’s own persons, and they
 673 8    |             to be separated from the men’s festivals, and those which
 674 8    |              To such a deity warlike men should entertain no aversion,
 675 8    |             as are the works of good men, which praise of blame has
 676 8    |            ought to apply equally to men and women. The legislator
 677 8    |            considering that if a few men should die, others as good
 678 8    |         wealth, which wholly absorbs men, and never for a moment
 679 8    |     beardless youths, and a third of men. For the youths we will
 680 8    |         contests in running both for men and women.~Respecting contests
 681 8    |           they married as well as to men. The pancration shall have
 682 8    |         manner the Gods may put into men’s minds the distribution
 683 8    |            education, I beheld young men and maidens holding friendly
 684 8    |           against them? Will not all men censure as womanly him who
 685 8    |              are all aware that most men, in spite of their lawless
 686 8    |         earliest childhood has heard men speaking in the same manner
 687 8    |             that I had a way to make men use natural love and abstain
 688 8    |    appointment of nature, and deters men from all frenzy and madness
 689 8    |            like; and shall our young men be incapable of a similar
 690 8    |         altogether the connection of men with men; and as to women,
 691 8    |           the connection of men with men; and as to women, if any
 692 8    |           kind better suited to free men. For he has nothing to do
 693 8    |             the city, and like other men must live, or those who
 694 8    |              be the order proper for men like them. There shall be
 695 9    |        parents, but that we are only men who are legislating for
 696 9    |          legislating for the sons of men, there is no uncharitableness
 697 9    |            those who are called good men among you; hear them tell
 698 9    |         image in which I likened the men for whom laws are now made
 699 9    |            building, but rather like men who are partly providing
 700 9    |             life and the pursuits of men, but not so disgraceful
 701 9    |        agreed that justice, and just men and things and actions,
 702 9    |           were to maintain that just men, even when they are deformed
 703 9    |               Athenian. That all bad men are always involuntarily
 704 9    |  involuntarily. I too admit that all men do injustice involuntarily,
 705 9    |        disputatious person says that men are unjust against their
 706 9    |             involuntary hurts of all men are quite as many and as
 707 9    |              quite well that to such men themselves there is no profit
 708 9    |         would be an example to other men not to offend, and they
 709 9    |           errors of children and old men; and these he will treat
 710 9    |              of motives which incite men to the fulfilment of their
 711 9    |             from passion either when men suddenly, and without intention
 712 9    |            insulted in deed or word, men pursue revenge, and kill
 713 9    |           can he, whom, alone of all men, even in defence of his
 714 9    |           whether he is forbidden of men or not; for the law, which
 715 9    |           law stirs up the voices of men against him; and in the
 716 9    |              and by such punishments men should be deterred. But
 717 9    |             who slays him who of all men, as they say, is his own
 718 9    |     voluntary and involuntary, which men do to one another; these
 719 9    |              the Gods and also among men who would live in security
 720 9    |          framed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them
 721 9    |             worst that can happen to men; far worse are the punishments
 722 9    |           whether they be youths, or men, or women, let them come
 723 9    |             relation to women, about men and women in relation to
 724 10   |             better manner than other men, at any rate in a truer;
 725 10   |             accusing us among unholy men, who are trying to escape
 726 10   |             regard justice more than men do. The demonstration of
 727 10   |             hating and abhorring the men who are and have been the
 728 10   |            their non–existence; when men, knowing all these things,
 729 10   |              are the sayings of wise men, poets and prose writers,
 730 10   |              thus inflicted on young men to the ruin both of states
 731 10   |           when he is making laws for men, at the same time infuse
 732 10   |         never to weary of persuading men; he ought to leave nothing
