The voice is not the artist's, but rather that of the actordirector Lysandros Specieris. Protagoras argues in the myth for the need for political art, which allows people to live harmoniously without resorting to violence or destruction. In this dialogue, Socrates engages Protagoras in a discussion about the nature of virtue and whether it can be taught. The conversation explores questions about the relationship between knowledge and virtue, the role of education in cultivating virtue, and the nature of moral relativism. Throughout the dialogue, Socrates employs his signature method of questioning, known as the Socratic method, in order to challenge Protagoras's beliefs and encourage a deeper understanding of the subject at hand. The dialogue is considered an important work of ancient Greek philosophy, as it explores fundamental questions about ethics, epistemology, and the nature of knowledge. It also represents an important contrast between Socrates, who believed in the objective existence of moral values, and the sophists, who believed that morality was relative and dependent on individual beliefs and cultural context.
