On the Theages

Pangle, Thomas L., "On the Theages," The Roots of Political Philosophy: Ten Forgotten Socratic Dialogues, ed. Thomas L. Pangle, Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1987, 147-74.

Excerpt:

As the subtitle suggests and as is confirmed by even a cursory reading, the theme of the Theages is wisdom. This dialogue thus stands with the four other dialogues that treat thematically the cardinal virtues (Republic, Charmides, Laches, and Euthyphro). It would be surprising if Plato did not regard wisdom as the crown of the virtues; yet contrary to what one then expects, the discussion in the Theages seems considerably less weighty than the conversations depicted in the other dialogues just mentioned.
