Δαρείου καὶ Παρυσάτιδος γίγνονται παῖδες δύο , πρεσβύτερος μὲν Ἀρταξέρξης , νεώτερος δὲ Κῦρος · ἐπεὶ δὲ ἠσθένει Δαρεῖος καὶ ὑπώπτευε τελευτὴν τοῦ βίου , ἐβούλετο τὼ παῖδε ἀμφοτέρω παρεῖναι .

Darius and Parysatis had two sons born to them , of whom the elder was Artaxerxes and the younger Cyrus . Now when Darius lay sick and suspected that the end of his life was near , he wished to have both his sons with him .

But speaking of this very thing , justice , are we to affirm thus without qualification that it is truth-telling and paying back what one has received from anyone , or may these very actions sometimes be just and sometimes unjust ? I mean , for example , as everyone I presume would admit , if one took over weapons from a friend who was in his right mind and then the lender should go mad and demand them back

τοῦτο δ᾽ αὐτό , τὴν δικαιοσύνην , πότερα τὴν ἀλήθειαν αὐτὸ φήσομεν εἶναι ἁπλῶς οὕτως καὶ τὸ ἀποδιδόναι ἄν τίς τι παρά του λάβῃ , ἢ καὶ αὐτὰ ταῦτα ἔστιν ἐνίοτε μὲν δικαίως , ἐνίοτε δὲ ἀδίκως ποιεῖν ; οἷον τοιόνδε λέγω : πᾶς ἄν που εἴποι , εἴ τις λάβοι παρὰ φίλου ἀνδρὸς σωφρονοῦντος ὅπλα

καὶ ὃς ἀκούσας ἀνεκάγχασέ τε μάλα σαρδάνιον καὶ εἶπεν : ὦ Ἡράκλεις , ἔφη , αὕτη ' κείνη ἡ εἰωθυῖα εἰρωνεία Σωκράτους , καὶ ταῦτ᾽ ἐγὼ ᾔδη τε καὶ τούτοις προύλεγον , ὅτι σὺ ἀποκρίνασθαι μὲν οὐκ ἐθελήσοις , εἰρωνεύσοιο δὲ καὶ πάντα μᾶλλον ποιήσοις ἢ ἀποκρινοῖο , εἴ τίς τί σε ἐρωτᾷ .

σοφὸς γὰρ εἶ , ἦν δ᾽ ἐγώ , ὦ Θρασύμαχε : εὖ οὖν ᾔδησθα ὅτι εἴ τινα ἔροιο ὁπόσα ἐστὶν τὰ δώδεκα , καὶ ἐρόμενος προείποις [ 337β ] αὐτῷ— ‘ὅπως μοι , ὦ ἄνθρωπε , μὴ ἐρεῖς ὅτι ἔστιν τὰ δώδεκα δὶς ἓξ μηδ᾽ ὅτι τρὶς τέτταρα μηδ᾽ ὅτι ἑξάκις δύο μηδ᾽ ὅτι τετράκις τρία : ὡς οὐκ ἀποδέξομαί σου ἐὰν τοιαῦτα φλυαρῇς’ —δῆλον οἶμαί σοι ἦν ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἀποκρινοῖτο τῷ οὕτως πυνθανομένῳ . ἀλλ᾽ εἴ σοι εἶπεν : ‘ὦ Θρασύμαχε , πῶς λέγεις ; μὴ ἀποκρίνωμαι ὧν προεῖπες μηδέν ; πότερον , ὦ θαυμάσιε , μηδ᾽ εἰ τούτων τι τυγχάνει ὄν , ἀλλ᾽ ἕτερον εἴπω τι [ 337ξ ] τοῦ ἀληθοῦς ; ἢ πῶς λέγεις ; ’ τί ἂν αὐτῷ εἶπες πρὸς ταῦτα ;

εἶεν , ἔφη : ὡς δὴ ὅμοιον τοῦτο ἐκείνῳ .

And he on hearing this gave a great guffaw and laughed sardonically and said , " Ye gods ! here we have the well-known irony of Socrates , and I knew it and predicted that when it came to replying you would refuse and dissemble and do anything rather than answer any question that anyone asked you . " " That ' s because you are wise , Thrasymachus , and so you knew very well that if you asked a man how many are twelve , [ 337b ] and in putting the question warned him : don ' t you be telling me , fellow , that twelve is twice six or three times four or six times two or four times three , for I won ' t accept any such drivel as that from you as an answer—it was obvious I fancy to you that no one could give an answer to a question framed in that fashion . Suppose he had said to you , ' Thrasymachus , what do you mean ? Am I not to give any of the prohibited answers , not even , do you mean to say , if the thing really is one of these , but must I say something different from the truth , [ 337c ] or what do you mean ? ' What would have been your answer to him ? " " Humph ! " said he , " how very like the two cases are ! "

ναὶ μὰ Δί᾽ , ἔφη , ὦ Σώκρατες , ὁ Πολέμαρχος , σαφέστατά γε .

ἐὰν σύ γ᾽ , ἔφη , αὐτῷ μαρτυρήσῃς , ὁ Κλειτοφῶν ὑπολαβών .

καὶ τί , ἔφη , δεῖται μάρτυρος ; αὐτὸς γὰρ Θρασύμαχος ὁμολογεῖ τοὺς μὲν ἄρχοντας ἐνίοτε ἑαυτοῖς κακὰ προστάττειν , τοῖς δὲ δίκαιον εἶναι ταῦτα ποιεῖν .

τὸ γὰρ τὰ κελευόμενα ποιεῖν , ὦ Πολέμαρχε , ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρχόντων δίκαιον εἶναι ἔθετο Θρασύμαχος .

καὶ γὰρ τὸ τοῦ κρείττονος , ὦ Κλειτοφῶν , συμφέρον δίκαιον εἶναι ἔθετο . ταῦτα δὲ ἀμφότερα θέμενος ὡμολόγησεν αὖ ἐνίοτε τοὺς κρείττους τὰ αὑτοῖς ἀσύμφορα κελεύειν τοὺς ἥττους τε καὶ ἀρχομένους ποιεῖν . ἐκ δὲ τούτων τῶν ὁμολογιῶν οὐδὲν μᾶλλον τὸ τοῦ κρείττονος συμφέρον δίκαιον ἂν εἴη ἢ τὸ μὴ συμφέρον .

ἀλλ᾽ , ἔφη ὁ Κλειτοφῶν , τὸ τοῦ κρείττονος συμφέρον ἔλεγεν ὃ ἡγοῖτο ὁ κρείττων αὑτῷ συμφέρειν : τοῦτο ποιητέον εἶναι τῷ ἥττονι , καὶ τὸ δίκαιον τοῦτο ἐτίθετο .

ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ οὕτως , ἦ δ᾽ ὃς ὁ Πολέμαρχος , ἐλέγετο .

" Yes , by Zeus , Socrates , " said Polemarchus , " nothing could be more conclusive . " " Of course , " said Cleitophon , breaking in , " if you are his witness . " 1 " What need is there of a witness ? " Polemarchus said . " Thrasymachus himself admits that the rulers sometimes enjoin what is evil for themselves and yet says that it is just for the subjects to do this . " " That , Polemarchus , is because Thrasymachus laid it down that it is just to obey the orders2 of the rulers . " " Yes , Cleitophon , but he also took the position that the advantage of the stronger is just . And after these two assumptions he again admitted that the stronger sometimes bid the inferior and their subjects do what is to the disadvantage of the rulers . And from these admissions the just would no more be the advantage of the stronger than the contrary . " " O well , " said Cleitophon , " by the advantage of the superior he meant what the superior supposed to be for his advantage . This was what the inferior had to do , and that this is the just was his position . " " That isn ' t what he said , " replied Polemarchus .
