What if everything you believed about wealth and value was wrong? In Eryxias, a compelling Socratic dialogue attributed to Pseudo-Plato, readers are invited to challenge conventional thinking about money, success, and the human good. At a time when material wealth is often seen as the ultimate goal, Socrates questions whether riches truly benefit a person, or if they might instead mask a deeper poverty of the soul. In this modern adaptation, the conversation between Socrates, Eryxias, and Critias is brought vividly to life for the contemporary reader. The dialogue explores powerful themes that remain as relevant today as they were in ancient Athens. What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation: * A Timeless Debate on the Value of Money - Why having wealth may not equate to living well * Socratic Reflections on Happiness and Virtue - Examine how inner character may matter more than outward fortune * A Modern, Accessible Translation - Faithfully adapted for clarity without losing philosophical depth * Insight into the Origins of Ethical Economics - Learn how ancient wisdom still informs modern debates on money and meaning This powerful short dialogue remains a valuable meditation on moral philosophy, ideal for readers interested in both classical thought and real-world implications. Can true wealth ever be measured in gold?
