Again, when
Plato in the Symposium1 makes Alcibiades confess
how he had wished Socrates to treat him, he does
not, I think, record these facts with a view to
blaming Aleibiades, but rather to show the unconquerable self-control of Socrates, which would
not yield even to the charms which the greatest
beauty of his day so frankly placed at his disposal.
