ALCIBIADES: Certainly not.
SOCRATES: And yet surely I may not suppose that you would ever wish to acttowards your mother as they say that Orestes and Alcmeon and others havedone towards their parent.
ALCIBIADES: Good words, Socrates, prithee.
SOCRATES: You ought not to bid him use auspicious words, who says that youwould not be willing to commit so horrible a deed, but rather him whoaffirms the contrary, if the act appear to you unfit even to be mentioned. Or do you think that Orestes, had he b...een in his senses and knew what wasbest for him to do, would ever have dared to venture on such a crime?
ALCIBIADES: Certainly not.
SOCRATES: Nor would any one else, I fancy?
ALCIBIADES: No.
SOCRATES: That ignorance is bad then, it would appear, which is of thebest and does not know what is best?
ALCIBIADES: So I think, at least.
SOCRATES: And both to the person who is ignorant and everybody else?
ALCIBIADES: Yes.
SOCRATES: Let us take another case. Suppose that you were suddenly to getinto your head that it would be a good thing to kill Pericles, your kinsmanand guardian, and were to seize a sword and, going to the doors of hishouse, were to enquire if he were at home, meaning to slay only him and noone else:--the servants reply, 'Yes': (Mind, I do not mean that you wouldreally do such a thing; but there is nothing, you think, to prevent a manwho is ignorant of the best, having occasionally the whim that what isworst is best?
