Soc. May not "the wolf," as the proverb says, "claim a hearing" ? PHAEDRUS
Str. Yes, the same sort of likeness which a wolf, who is the fiercest of animals, has to a dog, who is the gentlest. But he who would not be found tripping, ought to be very careful in this matter of comparisons, for they are most slippery things. Nevertheless, let us assume that the Sophists are the men. I say this provisionally, for I think that the line which divides them will be marked enough if proper care is (…)

Jowett: wolf

Jowett: immutable
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. Then let us proceed ; and where would you have us begin, now that we have got a sort of outline of the enquiry ? Are there any names which witness of themselves that they are not given arbitrarily, but have a natural fitness ? The names of heroes and of men in general are apt to be deceptive because they are often called after ancestors with whose names, as we were saying, they may have no business ; or they are the expression of a wish like Eutychides (the son of good fortune), or (…)

Jowett: wolves
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAnd those who have chosen the portion of injustice, and tyranny, and violence, will pass into wolves, or into hawks and kites ; whither else can we suppose them to go ? PHAEDO
As wolves love lambs so lovers love their loves. PHAEDRUS
Ath. What else can he say who declares that the Gods are always lenient to the doers of unjust acts, if they divide the spoil with them ? As if wolves were to toss a portion of their prey to the dogs, and they, mollified by the gift, suffered them to tear (…) -
Jowett: involuntary
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro[407b] "Whither haste ye, O men ? Yea, verily ye know not that ye are doing none of the things ye ought, seeing that ye spend your whole energy on wealth and the acquiring of it ; while as to your sons to whom ye will bequeath it, ye neglect to ensure that they shall understand how to use it justly, and ye find for them no teachers of justice, if so be that it is teachable — or if it be a matter of training and practice, instructors who can efficiently practice and train them — nor have ye (…)

Jowett: wizard
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroFearing that there would be high words, I again endeavoured to soothe Ctesippus, and said to him : To you, Ctesippus, I must repeat what I said before to Cleinias — that you do not understand the ways of these philosophers from abroad. They are not serious, but, like the Egyptian wizard, Proteus, they take different forms and deceive us by their enchantments : and let us, like Menelaus, refuse to let them go until they show themselves to us in earnest. When they begin to be in earnest their (…)

Jowett: inward
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroCertainly not the last, he replied ; for I know of many things-meats, drinks, medicines, and ten thousand other things, which are inexpedient for man, and some which are expedient ; and some which are neither expedient nor inexpedient for man, but only for horses ; and some for oxen only, and some for dogs ; and some for no animals, but only for trees ; and some for the roots of trees and not for their branches, as for example, manure, which is a good thing when laid about the roots of a (…)

Jowett: wives
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : Yes, and mine, noble Alcibiades, to Daedalus, and Daedalus to Hephaestus, son of Zeus ! But take the lines of those people, going back from them : you have a succession of kings reaching to Zeus — on the one hand, kings of Argos and Sparta ; on the other, of Persia, which they have always ruled, and frequently Asia also, as at present ; whereas we are private persons ourselves, and so were our fathers. And then, [121b] suppose that you had to make what show you could of your (…)

Jowett: wits
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : Why, it is not the person who says, Alcibiades, that you would not like to be guilty of such an act, whom you should bid avoid unlucky words, but much rather him who might say the contrary ; since the act seems to you so very dreadful as to be unfit even for such casual mention. But do you think that Orestes, if he had had all his wits about him and had known what was best for him to do, would have brought himself to commit any act of the sort ? ALCIBIADES II
Apollodorus. Yes, (…) -

Jowett: witchcraft
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. Why, no, I would rather use them as a sort of diviners, who divine the truth, not by rules of art, but by an instinctive repugnance and extreme detestation which a noble nature has of the power of pleasure, in which they think that there is nothing sound, and her seductive influence is declared by them to be witchcraft, and not pleasure. This is the use which you may make of them. And when you have considered the various grounds of their dislike, you shall hear from me what I deem to be (…)

Jowett: vision
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. But I do not think that the ship will be here until to-morrow ; this I gather from a vision which I had last night, or rather only just now, when you fortunately allowed me to sleep. CRITO
Cr. And what was the nature of the vision ? CRITO
In such cases as this : Suppose that there is a kind of vision which is not like ordinary vision, but a vision of itself and of other sorts of vision, and of the defect of them, which in seeing sees no colour, but only itself and other sorts of (…) -
Jowett: wine
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro[319c] Now here in Homer we have a eulogy of Minos, briefly expressed, such as the poet never composed for a single one of the heroes. For that Zeus is a sophist, and that sophistry is a highly honorable art, he makes plain in many other places, and particularly here. For he says that Minos consorted and discoursed with Zeus in the ninth year, and went regularly to be educated by Zeus as though he were a sophist. And the fact that Homer assigned this privilege of having been educated by Zeus (…)

Jowett: proof of the truth
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : Do you see, Hippias, that I speak the truth [372b] when I say that I am persistent in questioning wise men ? And this is probably the only good thing about me, as I am otherwise quite worthless ; for I am all wrong about facts, and do not know the truth about them. And it is to me sufficient proof of the truth of this, that when I come into contact with one of you who are famous for wisdom, and to whose wisdom all the Greeks bear witness, I am found to know nothing ; [372c] for (…)

Jowett: wind
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. Come now, suppose that you were to say to me : "Since you, Socrates, are able to assign different passages in Homer to their corresponding arts, I wish that you would tell me what are the passages of which the excellence ought to be judged by the prophet and prophetic art" ; and you will see how readily and truly I shall answer you. For there are many such passages, particularly in the Odyssey ; as, for example, the passage in which Theoclymenus the prophet of the house of Melampus says (…)

Jowett: truth

truth, = the right assignment of names, Crat. 385, 431; the basis of good speaking and writing, Phaedr, 260, 278; truth and persuasion, ib. 260; the power of, Apol 17 A; how obtained, Phaedo 65 ; the discovery of, a common good, Gorg. 505 E ; is not lost by men of their own will, Rep. 3. 413 A; the aim of the philosopher, ib. 6. 484, 485, 486 E, 490. 500 C, 501 D; 7.521,537 D; 9. 581, 582 G (cp.

Jowett: winds
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castroand how the winds bore the sweet savour from the plain into heaven : ALCIBIADES II
Soc. Any violent interpretations of the words should be avoided ; for something to say about them may easily be found. And thus I get rid of pur and udor. Aer (air), Hermogenes, may be explained as the element which raises (airei) things from the earth, or as ever flowing (aei pei), or because the flux of the air is wind, and the poets call the winds "air-blasts," (aetai) ; he who uses the term may mean, so (…) -
Jowett: aletheia
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroHer. Well, then, let me ask about the greatest and noblest, such as aletheia (truth) and pseudos (falsehood) and on (being), not forgetting to enquire why the word onoma (name), which is the theme of our discussion, has this name of onoma. CRATYLUS
Soc. The word onoma seems to be a compressed sentence, signifying on ou zetema (being for which there is a search) ; as is still more obvious in onomaston (notable), which states in so many words that real existence is that for which there is a (…) -

Jowett: otherness
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroIf being and the one be two different things, it is not because the one is one that it is other than being ; nor because being is being that it is other than the one ; but they differ from one another in virtue of otherness and difference. PARMENIDES
Then not by reason of otherness is the one other than the not-one, or the not-one other than the one. PARMENIDES
But in that it was the same it will be unlike by virtue of the opposite affection to that which made it and this was the (…)
