Hermogenes

Hermogenes. Certainly.

Socrates

Socrates. To those, then, who are born in accordance with nature the same names should be given.

Hermogenes

Hermogenes. Yes.

Socrates

Socrates. And how about those who are born contrary to nature as prodigies? For instance, when an impious son is born to a good and pious man, ought he not, as in our former example when a mare brought forth a calf, to have the designation of the class to which he belongs, instead of that of his parent? 5

Hermogenes

Hermogenes. Certainly.

Socrates

Socrates. Then the impious son of a pious father ought to receive the name of his class.

Hermogenes

Hermogenes. True.

Socrates

Socrates. Not Theophilus (beloved of God) or Mnesitheus (mindful of God) or anything of that sort; but something of opposite meaning, if names are correct.

Hermogenes

Hermogenes. Most assuredly, Socrates. 10

Socrates

Socrates. As the name of Orestes (mountain man) is undoubtedly correct, Hermogenes, whether it was given him by chance or by some poet who indicated by the name the fierceness, rudeness, and mountain-wildness of his nature.

Hermogenes

Hermogenes. So it seems, Socrates.

Socrates

Socrates. And his father’s name also appears to be in accordance with nature.

Hermogenes

Hermogenes. It seems so.
