Socrates concludes his quotations from Theognis, overtly to demonstrate that even an individual can believe that virtue is something teachable, but then (in the same poem), that virtue is not teachable. Apart from this point being philosophically redundant (it is enough that Meno is aware that he and the Many cannot decide whether sophists and good citizens are able to teach virtue or not), it is not the case that Theognis contradicted himself. I suggest a more significant reason for the appearance of Theognis' model well-born citizen so soon after the departure of Anytus.
