  5 Intro|     association, which from seeing Simmias may remember Cebes, or from
  6 Intro|           from seeing a picture of Simmias may remember Simmias. The
  7 Intro|            of Simmias may remember Simmias. The lyre may recall the
  8 Intro|           ideas.~It is objected by Simmias and Cebes that these arguments
  9 Intro|         behold the light of truth.~Simmias and Cebes remain in doubt;
 10 Intro|            more lustily than ever. Simmias acknowledges that there
 11 Intro|           an objection, which like Simmias he expresses in a figure.
 12 Intro|           in error.~At his request Simmias and Cebes repeat their objections.
 13 Intro|            pre-existence of ideas. Simmias is of opinion that the soul
 14 Intro|    playfully terms the argument of Simmias, has been happily disposed
 15 Intro|            or person. For example, Simmias may be said to have greatness
 16 Intro|          less than Phaedo. And yet Simmias is not really great and
 17 Intro|           order in the world. When Simmias and Cebes say that they

 19 Intro|        principal interlocutors are Simmias and Cebes, the disciples
 20 Intro| Pythagorean philosopher of Thebes. Simmias is described in the Phaedrus
 21 Intro|           the weaver and his coat. Simmias, on the other hand, raises
 22 Intro|        Pythagorean disciple. It is Simmias, too, who first remarks
 23 Intro|          more consecutive thinker, Simmias more superficial and rhetorical;
 24 Intro|    Socrates is the protagonist and Simmias and Cebes the secondary

 26 Text |           PHAEDO: Yes, there were; Simmias the Theban, and Cebes, and
 27 Text |         Athenians say that I must.~Simmias said: What a message for
 28 Text |           I think that he is, said Simmias.~Then he, or any man who
 29 Text |            And have you, Cebes and Simmias, who are the disciples of
 30 Text |        hears.~And certainly, added Simmias, the objection which he
 31 Text |            like you to do so, said Simmias.~Then I must try to make
 32 Text |           am quite ready to admit, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought
 33 Text |           with you, Socrates? said Simmias. Will you not impart them
 34 Text |        world. And how this may be, Simmias and Cebes, I will endeavour
 35 Text |      always pursuing and desiring?~Simmias said laughingly: Though
 36 Text |        desire.~And they are right, Simmias, in thinking so, with the
 37 Text |         death?~To be sure, replied Simmias.~Is it not the separation
 38 Text |            Certainly not, answered Simmias.~And what about the pleasures
 39 Text |          body.~Very true.~Whereas, Simmias, the rest of the world are
 40 Text |            there is another thing, Simmias: Is there or is there not
 41 Text |           in it, Socrates, replied Simmias.~And when real philosophers
 42 Text |       These are the sort of words, Simmias, which the true lovers of
 43 Text |       purified.~Certainly, replied Simmias.~And what is purification
 44 Text |         And the true philosophers, Simmias, are always occupied in
 45 Text |          He would, indeed, replied Simmias.~And when you see a man
 46 Text |       replied.~And is not courage, Simmias, a quality which is specially
 47 Text |            of virtue. O my blessed Simmias, is there not one true coin
 48 Text |          maintain that I am right, Simmias and Cebes, in not grieving
 49 Text |           But tell me, Cebes, said Simmias, interposing, what arguments
 50 Text |         you are still incredulous, Simmias, I would ask you whether
 51 Text |        Incredulous, I am not, said Simmias; but I want to have this
 52 Text |            manner any one who sees Simmias may remember Cebes; and
 53 Text |           Endless, indeed, replied Simmias.~And recollection is most
 54 Text |            and from the picture of Simmias, you may be led to remember
 55 Text |         led to the recollection of Simmias himself?~Quite so.~And in
 56 Text |           so?~Say so, yes, replied Simmias, and swear to it, with all
 57 Text |     forgetting. Is not forgetting, Simmias, just the losing of knowledge?~
 58 Text |             And which alternative, Simmias, do you prefer? Had we the
 59 Text |            you are not of opinion, Simmias, that all men know these
 60 Text |             previously?~Yes.~Then, Simmias, our souls must also have
 61 Text |     nonsense.~Then may we not say, Simmias, that if, as we are always
 62 Text |    convince him too.~I think, said Simmias, that Cebes is satisfied:
 63 Text |         come to an end?~Very true, Simmias, said Cebes; about half
 64 Text |          complete.~But that proof, Simmias and Cebes, has been already
 65 Text |       Still I suspect that you and Simmias would be glad to probe the
 66 Text |         That can never be, my dear Simmias and Cebes. The truth rather
 67 Text |            And this is the reason, Simmias and Cebes, why the true
 68 Text |            human ills. Never fear, Simmias and Cebes, that a soul which
 69 Text |          been said; only Cebes and Simmias spoke a few words to one
 70 Text |         use, allow me to help you.~Simmias said: I must confess, Socrates,
 71 Text |            replied with a smile: O Simmias, what are you saying? I
 72 Text |          Very good, Socrates, said Simmias; then I will tell you my
 73 Text |           In this respect, replied Simmias:—Suppose a person to use
 74 Text |             and said with a smile: Simmias has reason on his side;
 75 Text |            not the same as that of Simmias; for I am not disposed to
 76 Text |         the objection, which, like Simmias, I will express in a figure,
 77 Text |         lasting remains. But that, Simmias, as I would beg you to remark,
 78 Text |         not hold my ground against Simmias and Cebes, I would myself
 79 Text |         This is the state of mind, Simmias and Cebes, in which I approach
 80 Text |         mind what you were saying. Simmias, if I remember rightly,
 81 Text |           going on. Are not these, Simmias and Cebes, the points which
 82 Text |      remained absolutely unshaken. Simmias agreed, and added that he
 83 Text |         other?~Not at all, replied Simmias.~And yet, he said, there
 84 Text |        theme.~There ought, replied Simmias.~But there is no harmony,
 85 Text |             Let me put the matter, Simmias, he said, in another point
 86 Text |             I cannot tell, replied Simmias; but I suppose that something
 87 Text |           speaking more correctly, Simmias, the soul, if she is a harmony,
 88 Text |            have expected. For when Simmias was mentioning his difficulty,
 89 Text |         you say is most true, said Simmias and Cebes, both speaking
 90 Text |          and yet when you say that Simmias is greater than Socrates
 91 Text |            do you not predicate of Simmias both greatness and smallness?~
 92 Text |           But still you allow that Simmias does not really exceed Socrates,
 93 Text |            to imply, because he is Simmias, but by reason of the size
 94 Text |         size which he has; just as Simmias does not exceed Socrates
 95 Text |      exceed Socrates because he is Simmias, any more than because Socrates
 96 Text |     compared with the greatness of Simmias?~True.~And if Phaedo exceeds
 97 Text |            greatness relatively to Simmias, who is comparatively smaller?~
 98 Text |        That is true.~And therefore Simmias is said to be great, and
 99 Text |          what I am saying is true.~Simmias assented.~I speak as I do
100 Text |       smallness when compared with Simmias, remain just as I was, and
101 Text |           object; but if my friend Simmias, or any one else, has any
102 Text |       nothing more to say, replied Simmias; nor can I see any reason
103 Text |            feebleness of man.~Yes, Simmias, replied Socrates, that
104 Text |           you mean, Socrates? said Simmias. I have myself heard many
105 Text |        these you put faith.~And I, Simmias, replied Socrates, if I
106 Text |           even if I could, I fear, Simmias, that my life would come
107 Text |     conception of them.~That, said Simmias, will be enough.~Well, then,
108 Text |         surely a correct one, said Simmias.~Also I believe that the
109 Text |          tell you a charming tale, Simmias, which is well worth hearing.~
110 Text |          And we, Socrates, replied Simmias, shall be charmed to listen
111 Text |        fail me to tell.~Wherefore, Simmias, seeing all these things,
112 Text |          when her hour comes. You, Simmias and Cebes, and all other
