 Following the lead of Vlastos (1971 and 1991), many scholars represent the philosophical content of these dialogues as teachings of the historical Socrates. This article follows that convention. On Socrates, see Benson 1992, Brickhouse and Smith 2000, Rappe and Kamtekar 2005, Rudebusch 2009, Bussanich and Smith (eds.) 2013, and Prior 2019. On Socrates’ ethical theory, see the first half of Irwin 1995 as well as Reshotko 2006, Iakovo 2008, and Smith 2021.
