What is the significance of good politicians being called divine? Why does it matter that not only women but also Spartan men think this way? We find out that all through Socrates' unflattering portrayal of good politicians as people lacking sense, Anytus has been listening, and appears to be, according to Meno, upset. Is this at all important for our understanding of the philosophical import of the dialogue, or is it merely a nod to the historical fact that Anytus was one of the prosecutors of Socrates?
Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.
