Socrates dialogue with Aristippus feels oddly familiar. Perhaps I possess some of the foolish qualities of Aristippus. 😬

Xenophon’s recollection of Socrates’ dialogue with Critobulus is always entertaining. He appears to enjoy busting Critobulus’ balls, which I interpret as a sign they are good/old friends.

Here he mentions the “speech of the dog” again, which he has used several times thus far.

Socrates’ dialogues with Aristodemus and Antiphon are particularly interesting.

Wonderful! Really enjoying learning about Xenophon. I really never gave him much consideration. What a mistake that was. Truly fascinating accounts from a lesser known (to me) pupil of Socrates.
