Socrates

Soc. But you call it evil, in respect of the deaths and wounds?

Alcibiades

Alc. Yes.

Socrates

Soc. And is not the courage one thing, and the death another?

Alcibiades

Alc. Certainly. 20

Socrates

Soc. Then it is not in the same respect that rescuing one’s friends is noble and evil?

Alcibiades

Alc. Apparently not.

Socrates

Soc. Then see if, inasmuch as it is noble, it is also good; for in the present case you were admitting that the rescue was noble in respect of its courage: now consider this very thing, courage, and say whether it is good or bad. Consider it in this way: which would you choose to have, good things or evil?

Alcibiades

Alc. Good.

Socrates

Soc. And most of all, the greatest goods, and of such things you would least allow yourself to be deprived? 25

Alcibiades

Alc. To be sure.

Socrates

Soc. Then what do you say of courage? At what price would you allow yourself to be deprived of it?

Alcibiades

Alc. I would give up life itself if I had to be a coward.

Socrates

Soc. Then you regard cowardice as the uttermost evil.
