According to Valesius these were mainly Socrates and Sozomen ; Albert Guldenpenning's thorough research placed Rufinus first, and next to him, Eusebius of Caesarea, Athanasius, Sozomen, Sabinus, Philostorgius, Gregory Nazianzen, and, least of all, Socrates.

; Socrates " Cooch " Windgrass: Runs the farm next to Wal, has compassion for all living creatures and things and thus has a natural way with animals.

Finding himself seated on a couch with Socrates and Agathon, Alcibiades exclaims that Socrates, again, has managed to sit next to the handsomest man in the room, Agathon, and that he is always doing such things ( 213c ).

Wondering why everyone seems sober, Alcibiades is informed of the night's agreement ( 213e, c ); after saying his drunken ramblings should not be placed next to the sober orations of the rest, and that he hopes no one believed a word Socrates said, Alcibiades proposes to offer an encomium to Socrates ( 214c-e ).

Despite this speech, Agathon then lies down next to Socrates, much to the chagrin of Alcibiades.

In Plato's work, Socrates tells his friend, Crito, that he expects to be executed the day after next ( the Greeks counted inclusively, so the " third day " counts today as the first, tomorrow as the second, and the day after as the third ), interpreting the dream to mean that he will arrive at his new home one day later than Crito expects.

For example, in the Euthyphro, Socrates asks Euthyphro to provide a definition of piety.

Socrates asks Theodorus if he knows of any geometry students who show particular promise.

Socrates makes a cameo appearance when Xenophon asks whether he ought to accompany the expedition.

Socrates asks Agathon to protect him from the jealous rage of Alcibiades, asking Alcibiades to forgive him ( 213d ).

When Hermogenes asks if he can provide another hypothesis on how signs come into being ( his own is simply ' convention '), Socrates initially suggests that they fit their referents in virtue of the sounds they are made of:

Chaerephon rushes over and asks Socrates if the boy is not beautiful, and Socrates agrees.

What is it, asks Socrates, that makes piety different from all those other actions that we call just?

The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's dialogue Euthyphro, in which Socrates asks Euthyphro, " Is the pious ( τὸ ὅσιον ) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?

Socrates asks whether gods love the pious, because it is the pious, or the pious is the pious, because it is loved by the gods ( 10a )?

Socrates asks Protagoras " in respect to what " Hippocrates will improve by associating with him, in the manner that by associating himself to a doctor he would improve in medicine ( 318d ).

Socrates asks Meno to consider whether good things must be acquired virtuously in order to be really good.

This does not answer whether it is just or unjust for Socrates to escape from the prison, so Socrates asks what the Laws would say about his leaving.

Socrates announces that he has caught Meletus in a contradiction, and asks the court whether Meletus has designed an intelligence test for him to see if he can identify logical contradictions.

After establishing that Socrates himself has made the distinction between Forms and sensibles, Parmenides asks him what sorts of Form he is prepared to recognize.

Phaedrus picks up on Socrates ' subtle sarcasm and asks Socrates not to joke.

After showing that speech making itself isn't something reproachful, and that what is truly shameful is to engage in speaking or writing shamefully or badly, Socrates asks what distinguishes good from bad writing, and they take this up.

Socrates gets Gorgias to agree to his cross-examination style of conversation, asks him questions, and praises him for the brevity of his replies.

Gorgias remarks that no one has asked him a new question in a long time, and when Socrates asks, assures him that he is just as capable of brevity as of long-windedness ( 449c ).

Socrates asks him if he thinks laughing is a legitimate form of refutation ( 473e ).

Polus then asks Socrates if putting forth views that no one would accept is not a refutation in itself.

In Book VI of Plato's Republic, Glaucon says to Socrates: " Momus himself could not find fault with such a combination.

It is written as a dialogue narrated by Plato's friend Socrates and Plato's brother Glaucon at the beginning of Book VII ( 514a – 520a ).

Critias tells Socrates that Charmides is his cousin, son of his uncle Glaucon.

In the dialogue Socrates introduces the story by explaining to his questioner, Glaucon, that the soul must be immortal, and cannot be destroyed.

# Books II – V: Glaucon and Adeimantus challenge Socrates to prove: Why a perfectly just man, perceived by the world as an unjust man, would be happier than the perfectly unjust man who hides his injustice and is perceived by the world as a just man?

Because Glaucon and Adeimantus presume a definition of “ Justice ,” Socrates digresses ; he compels the group ’ s attempt to discover justice, and then answers the question posed to him about the intrinsic value of the just life.

Glaucon uses this argument to challenge Socrates to defend the position that the unjust life is better than the just life.

While Plato spends much of the Republic having Socrates narrate a conversation about the city he founds with Glaucon and Adeimantus " in speech ", the discussion eventually turns to considering four regimes that exist in reality and tend to degrade successively into each other: timocracy, oligarchy ( also called plutocracy ), democracy and tyranny ( also called despotism ).

He is assisted by Dr. Schreber, who explains the city's mechanism as Socrates explains to Glaucon how the shadows in the cave are cast.

Murdoch however becomes more than Glaucon ; Loughlin writes, " He is a Glaucon who comes to realize that Socrates ' tale of an upper, more real world, is itself a shadow, a forgery.
