They are the sophists, Truth was the title of a book written by Protagoras. of Protagoras altogether, should desire what is said in such a Truth, as if it were of any value.

391 Socrates. Then if you do not like that, you ought to learn from Homer and the other poets.

391 Hermogenes. Why, Socrates, what does Homer say about names, and where?

391 Socrates. In many passages; but chiefly and most admirably in those in which he distinguishes between the names by which gods and men call the same things. Do you not think he gives in those passages great and wonderful information about the correctness of names? For clearly the gods call things by the names that are naturally right. Do you not think so?

391 Hermogenes. Of course I know that if they call things, they call them rightly. But what are these instances to which you refer?

391 Socrates. Do you not know that he says about the river in Troy which had the single combat with Hephaestus,Hom. Il. 21.342-380whom the gods call Xanthus, but men call ScamanderHom. Il. 20.74?

391 Hermogenes. Oh yes.
