Note 677 — Chapter LXVIII · SOKRATES.
Reading edition
Xenoph. Mem. i, 1, 12-15. Plato entertained much larger views on the subject of physical and astronomical studies than either Sokratês or Xenophon: see Plato, Phædrus, c. 120, p. 270, A; and Republic, vii, c. 6-11, p. 522, seq.
His treatise De Legibus, however, written in his old age, falls below this tone.
