Laches, a general in the Athenian army, saw Socrates fight bravely in the battle of Delium. Later, when Socrates asks Laches and Nicias, another general, to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss, and words fail them. How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can we say that a lion is courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face? Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences? What kind of education and training promotes both courage and goodness in people, whether they are young or old? Ray Munro cast and directed the actors in this new translation by Albert A. Anderson.
