# Πρωταγόρας

By Plato.

"Πρωταγόρας" by Plato is a dialogue written in ancient Greece. The work stages a philosophical debate between Socrates and the celebrated sophist Protagoras at the home of Callias. Their discussion explores whether virtue can be taught and what makes a good citizen. The dialogue features numerous notable Athenians and includes Protagoras defending sophistry as an honorable profession while Socrates challenges his claims through questioning. Through myth and argument, the two thinkers wrestle with fundamental questions about wisdom, education, and human excellence. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
