    L’ATHÉNIEN. Soit ; eh bien, dis-moi, je te prie, pourquoi la loi a-t-elle établi chez vous les repas en commun, les gymnases et l’espèce d’armes dont vous vous servez ? CLINIAS. Étranger, il est aisé, ce me semble, à tout homme d’apercevoir quelle a été chez nous la raison de ces institutions. Vous voyez quelle…

    Athenian Stranger. Tell me, Strangers, is a God or some man supposed to be the author of your laws ? Cleinias. A God, Stranger ; in very truth a, God : among us Cretans he is said to have been Zeus, but in Lacedaemon, whence our friend here comes, I believe they would say that…

    Ath. I am willing — And first, I want to know why the law has ordained that you shall have common meals and gymnastic exercises, and wear arms. Cle. I think, Stranger, that the aim of our institutions is easily intelligible to any one. Look at the character of our country : Crete is not…

    Cle. How shall we proceed, Stranger ? Ath. I think that we must begin again as before, and first consider the habit of courage ; and then we will go on and discuss another and then another form of virtue, if you please. In this way we shall have a model of the whole ;…

  • Jowett: Laws 635e-637d — Temperança

    in

    Ath. Suppose, Cleinias and Megillus, that we consider the virtue which follows next of those which we intended to discuss (for after courage comes temperance), what institutions shall we find relating to temperance, either in Crete or Lacedaemon, which, like your military institutions, differ from those of any ordinary state. Meg. That is not an…

    Ath. Let us then discourse a little more at length about intoxication, which is a very important subject, and will seriously task the discrimination of the legislator. I am not speaking of drinking, or not drinking, wine at all, but of intoxication. Are we to follow the custom of the Scythians, and Persians, and Carthaginians,…

    Ath. You seem to be quite ready to listen ; and I am also ready to perform as much as I can of an almost impossible task, which I will nevertheless attempt. At the outset of the discussion, let me define the nature and power of education ; for this is the way by which…

    CLINIAS. Étranger, quelle méthode faut-il observer dans ce qui nous reste à dire après cela ? L’ATHÉNIEN. Je pense qu’il nous faut parcourir de nouveau tous les exercices qui appartiennent à la force, comme nous avons commencé à le faire ; de là nous passerons, si vous voulez, à une autre espèce de vertu, et…

    L’ATHÉNIEN. Maintenant, Clinias, et toi étranger de Lacédémone, si nous passons, comme nous nous le sommes proposé, de la force à la tempérance, que trouverons-nous sur ce point, comme tout à l’heure sur la guerre, de mieux réglé dans vos deux États que dans les autres, qui se gouvernent au hasard? MÉGILLE. C’est ce qu’il…

    LAWS – BOOK II At the beginning of the second book the subject of pleasure leads to education, which in the early years of life is wholly a discipline imparted by the means of pleasure and pain. The discipline of pleasure is implanted chiefly by the practice of the song and the dance. Of these…

    Ath. And the uneducated is he who has not been trained in the chorus, and the educated is he who has been well trained ? Cle. Certainly. Ath. And the chorus is made up of two parts, dance and song ? Cle. True. Ath. Then he who is well educated will be able to sing…

    Ath. The next suggestion which I have to offer is, that all our three choruses shall sing to the young and tender souls of children, reciting in their strains all the noble thoughts of which we have already spoken, or are about to speak ; and the sum of them shall be, that the life…

    Ath. When things have an accompanying charm, either the best thing in them is this very charm, or there is some rightness or utility possessed by them ; — for example, I should say that eating and drinking, and the use of food in general, have an accompanying charm which we call pleasure ; but…

    Ath. Then half the subject may now be considered to have been discussed ; shall we proceed to the consideration of the other half ? Cle. What is the other half, and how do you divide the subject ? Ath. The whole choral art is also in our view the whole of education ; and…

    Athenian Stranger. And now we have to consider whether the insight into human nature is the only benefit derived from well ordered potations, or whether there are not other advantages great and much to be desired. The argument seems to imply that there are. But how and in what way these are to be attained,…

    Athenian Stranger. Enough of this. And what, then, is to be regarded as the origin of government ? Will not a man be able to judge of it best from a point of view in which he may behold the progress of states and their transitions to good or evil ? Cleinias. What do you…

    Ath. Do you believe that there is any truth in ancient traditions ? Cle. What traditions ? Ath. The traditions about the many destructions of mankind which have been occasioned by deluges and pestilences, and in many other ways, and of the survival of a remnant ? Cle. Every one is disposed to believe them.…

    Ath. Thus, after digressing from the original subject of laws into music and drinking-bouts, the argument has, providentially, come back to the same point, and presents to us another handle. For we have reached the settlement of Lacedaemon ; which, as you truly say, is in laws and in institutions the sister of Crete. And…

    Cle. Let us resume the argument in that spirit. And now, speaking of friendship and wisdom and freedom, I wish that you would tell me at what, in your opinion, the legislator should aim. Ath. Hear me, then : there are two mother forms of states from which the rest may be truly said to…
