Document Summary
When the discussion begins, lysimachus and melesias, two mature men accompanied by their sons, are outside. They are watching the work of a man giving military training to young men. Both fathers have been wondering for a while whether they should entrust their sons to that man and whether that would be a good thing for their education. The problem that lysimachus and melesis are facing is common at the time, at least in families where one can afford to pay for a complete education. ) Socrates happens to be there also, on the same public place. Lysimachus: you have seen the exhibition of the man fighting in armour, nicias and. Laches, but we did not tell you at the time the reason why my friend melesias and i asked you to go with us and see him. I think that we may as well confess what this was, for we certainly ought not to have any reserve with you.
