Aristophanes, Clouds, 627-629
μὰ τὴν ̓Αναπνοὴν μὰ τὸ Χάος μὰ τὸν ̓Αέρα SOCRATES: By Respiration! By Chaos! By the Air! I have never seen a man so gross, so inept, so stupid, so forgetful. All the little quibbles, which I teach him, he forgets even before he has learnt them. Yet I will not give it up, I will make him come out here into the open air. Where are you, Strepsiades? Come, bring your couch out here. STREPSIADES: But the bugs will not allow me to bring it. SOCRATES: Have done with such nonsense! place it there and pay attention. STREPSIADES: Well, here I am. SOCRATES: Good! Which science of all those you have never been taught, do you wish to learn first? The measures, the rhythms or the verses? STREPSIADES: Why, the measures; the flour dealer cheated me out of two choenixes the other day. SOCRATES: 'Tis not about that I ask you, but which, according to you, is the best measure, the trimeter or the tetrameter? STREPSIADES: The one I prefer is the semisextarius. SOCRATES: You talk nonsense, my good fellow. STREPSIADES: I will wager your tetrameter is the semisextarius. SOCRATES: Plague seize the dunce and the fool! Come, perchance you will learn the rhythms quicker. STREPSIADES: Will the rhythms supply me with food? SOCRATES: First they will help you to be pleasant in company, then to know what is meant by oenoplian rhythm and what by the dactylic. STREPSIADES: Of the dactyl? I know that quite well. SOCRATES: What is it then?

Well, and is not that a great power to have? Soc. No, judging at least by what Polus says. Pol. I say no! Pardon me, I say yes. Soc. No, by the ————, you do not; for you said that great power is a good to him who has it. Pol. Yes, and I maintain it. Soc. Then do you regard it as a good, when a man does what he thinks to be best, without having intelligence? Is that what you call having a great power? Pol. No, I do not. Soc. Then will you prove that the orators have intelligence, and that rhetoric is an art, not a flattery, and so refute me ?
16. Plato, Laches, None (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE) 181a. Now tell me, my boys, is this the Socrates whose name you have mentioned so often? Son. To be sure, father, it is he. Lys. On my soul, Socrates, it is good to know that you keep up your father’s name, which was a most honorable one, both on general grounds and particularly because of the intimate relation in which you and we shall equally feel ourselves to be. Lach. Indeed, Lysimachus, he is a person you must not lose hold of; for I have observed him elsewhere too keeping up not merely his father’
17. Plato, Symposium, None (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE) 214d. Besides, my gifted friend, you are surely not convinced by anything that Socrates has just told you?

For the man who can recognize those who are fitted to be mutually helpful and can make them desire one another’s acquaintance, that man, in my opinion, could also create friendship between cities and arrange suitable marriages, and would be a very valuable acquisition as friend or ally for both states and individuals. But you got indigt, as if you had received an affront, when I said that you were a good go-between. But, indeed, that is all over now, he replied; for with this power mine I shall find my soul chock-full of riches. And so this round of discourse was brought to a close.
