Laches
Plato · translated by Benjamin Jowett
Two fathers ask the generals Laches and Nicias how to educate their sons, and Socrates turns the conversation to the question of what courage is.
The Laches is a dialogue on courage. The two generals each propose a definition and Socrates examines them; the discussion ends without an agreed answer.
This edition is the English translation by Benjamin Jowett.
