> charmenides was plato's uncle, a chad statesman who everyone loved, think of him like a rock star. socrates is meant to be represented as the young adoring child.  hahaha wtf. this is the best cope ive read yet. socrates is older than charmides in this dialogue (it literally opens with him returning from a battle!), which takes place in 432 bc roughly. charmides is described as a boy. socrates was born in 470 and charmides was born in 446, for reference. yes, the dialogues are not literal recordings of events. but one has to ask why plato keeps depicting socrates as being sexually attracted to boys   did you even read my post? i told you the dialogue was about temperance. but in no sense is homosexuality ever depicted as evil. socrates simply restrains his own sexual emotions towards boys, which he admits he has, and seems to express no shame about, even quoting some fags poem
