Hippias of Elis - 2024 ARGOS

Question

While speaking to this character, Socrates claims that doing wrong intentionally is better than doing it unwillingly, contradicting his views expressed in Crito. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this character who, in another dialogue, calls Spartans unlawful for refusing to pay him. Socrates describes how a questioner would justly beat him if he gave this character's definition of one concept as being "rich and healthy, and honored by the Greeks."

ANSWER: Hippias of Elis

[10e] Hippias was one of these ancient Greek orators and teachers. In a namesake Platonic dialogue, the Eleatic stranger attempts to find a definition for these people who included Protagoras and Gorgias.

ANSWER: sophists

[10m] Socrates' argument in Hippias Minor that a more powerful man who commits injustice is better than a less powerful man who does so is reminiscent of this sophist's claim that "justice is the advantage of the stronger."

ANSWER: Thrasymachus
