Tell me, Euthydemus, have you ever been to
Delphi
?
Yes, certainly; twice.
Then did you notice somewhere on the temple the inscription Know thyself?
I did.
And did you pay no heed to the inscription, or did you attend to it and try to consider who you were?
Indeed I did not; because I felt sure that I knew that already; for I could hardly know anything else if I did not even know myself.
