Protagorean and socratic myth

Abstract

This article attempts to show that the style and form of the myth in the Protagoras are suited to the speaker, and differentiate his practice from that of Socrates and other speakers whom Plato favours. After a study of general features of Platonic myth, that of Protagoras is contrasted with Diotima's, and a final section illustrates the difference of function.
