Table of Contents:
ἀνόητος κτἑ.: see in the discussion with Polus the remark at 477 b, where the πονηρία of the soul is described in the same way.
ἀνόσιος: Plato prefers to use only two endings with this adj., which usually, especially in later Greek, has three. The common collocation, as in the present passage, with several other adjs. of only two endings, may perhaps explain his usage.
οὕτω . . . ἄμεινον: sc. than if it were differently dealt with. Cf. 468 b.
ὥσπερ σὺ νυνδὴ ᾤου: refers naturally to the second member, for which a predicate is to be supplied from the first. Socrates has in mind 491 e ff. The contradiction between this admission and the statement made at the first (νυνδή), Callicles seeks, in his accustomed manner, to evade.
41 f. αὐτὸς τοῦτο πάσχων: Calli
Gonzalez Lodge. Commentary on Plato Gorgias. Ginn & Company. Boston and London. 1891.
