Stranger

Str. We found just now that there were many arts of herding, and one of them was the art of statesmanship, which was the care of one particular kind of herd, did we not?

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. Yes.

Stranger

Str. And our argument defined this, not as the tending of horses or other beasts, but as the science of tending men in common.

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. Yes, it did. 15

Stranger

Str. Let us, then, observe the point of difference between kings and all other herdsmen.

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. What point of difference?

Stranger

Str. Let us see whether anyone who is designated by the name of another art says and claims that he is fellow manager of the herd in common with any of the other kinds of herdsmen.

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. What do you mean?

Stranger

Str. For instance, merchants, husbandmen, and all who prepare grain for use, and also gymnastic trainers and physicians would certainly all dispute with the herdsmen of humanity, whom we have called statesmen, and would assert that they themselves take care of the tending of humanity, and not the tending of the common herd only, but even that of the rulers themselves, would they not?

Younger Socrates

Y. Soc. And would they be right?
