Laches

<h4><em>What if courage wasn't just strength in battle-but a deeper strength of character in all of life?</em></h4><p></p><p>In <em>Laches</em> Plato invites us into a conversation between Socrates and two celebrated Athenian generals-Laches and Nicias-who are asked to evaluate a training method for young men. As the discussion deepens Socrates shifts the topic from techniques of war to the essence of virtue itself: What is courage? Is it fearlessness? Knowledge? Endurance? Or something more?</p><p></p><p>This modern translation captures the clarity and sincerity of one of Plato's most engaging dialogues.
