0251 Lysis 222c

Musings on a single sentence which may throw light on the entire dialogue. Socrates claims that they are, as it were, drunk by the logos. The need for the strange example earlier on of a dear son who has drunk hemlock being cured by a father with the aid of wine now makes sense If Socrates, the author of the logos, is the one applying alcohol to the problem, who is applying hemlock? I offer a few suggestions.Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.The resulting analyses may be found at:https://theplatoparadigm.com
