This box: view • talk •

Theages is a dialogue attributed to Plato, featuring Demodocus, Socrates and Theages. Scholars consider its authenticity doubtful. (See eg Richard Kraut in The Cambridge Companion to Plato, Cambridge 1992, p 35.)

Theages 125e8-126a4 is quoted by Nietzsche in Will to Power §958: "In Plato's Theages it is written: 'Each one of us would like to be master over all men, if possible, and best of all God.' This attitude must exist again" (trans. Walter Kaufmann).
