Plato's Gorgias

Socrates, who is attended by his inseparable disciple, Chaerephon, meets Callicles in the streets of Athens.

"The wise man, as the proverb says, is late for a fray, but not for a feast."
"And are we late for a feast?"
"Yes, and a delightful feast; for Gorgias has just been exhibiting to us many fine things."

He regrets missing the exhibition, because he was desirious, not of hearing Gorgias display his rhetoric, but of interrogating him concerning the nature of his art.

"Come into my house, then; for Gorgias is staying with me, and he shall exhibit to you."
"How fortunate!"

There they find the great rhetorician and his younger friend and disciple Polus.

"Put the question to him, Chaerephon."
"What question?"
"Who is he? —such a question as would elicit from a man the answer, 'I am a cobbler.'"

But before Gorgias can reply, Polus stands in their way and desires to answer for him.

"You may make trial of me too, for I think that Gorgias, who has been talking a long time, is tired."

Will Polus' answers be enough to satisfy Socrates? Will he be able to get through Polus and confront Gorgias directly? What other obstacles await him in the house of Callicles? Find out in this Visual Novel adaptation of a classic Socratic dialogue written by Plato around 380 BC.
