ἼΩΝ. καὶ μὴν ἄξιόν γε ἀκοῦσαι, ὦ Σώκρατες, ὡς εὖ κεκόσμηκα τὸν Ὅμηρον· ὥστε οἶμαι ὑπὸ Ὁμηριδῶν ἄξιος εἶναι χρυσῶι στεφάνωι στεφανωθῆναι.
ΣΩ. καὶ μὴν ἐγὼ ἔτι ποιήσομαι σχολὴν ἀκροάσασθαί σου ἀκροάσασθαί σου m: ἀκροᾶσθαί σου m, νῦν δέ μοι τοσόνδε ἀπόκριναι· πότερον περὶ Ὁμήρου μόνον δεινὸς εἶ ἢ καὶ περὶ Ἡσιόδου καὶ Ἀρχιλόχου;
ἼΩΝ. οὐδαμῶς, ἀλλὰ περὶ Ὁμήρου μόνον· ἱκανὸν γάρ μοι δοκεῖ εἶναι. […]
ΣΩ. οὐκοῦν σὺ φῂς καὶ Ὅμηρον καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους ποιητάς, ἐν οἷς καὶ Ἡσίοδος καὶ Ἀρχίλοχός ἐστιν, περί γε τῶν αὐτῶν λέγειν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ ὁμοίως, ἀλλὰ τὸν μὲν εὖ γε, τοὺς δὲ χεῖρον;
ἼΩΝ. καὶ ἀληθῆ λέγω.
Ion: It’s worth hearing, Socrates, how well I have adorned Homer. So well that I believe I deserve to be presented with a golden crown by the Homeridae.
Socrates: I’ll make some time to listen to you for a bit, but for now answer this question: are you skilled at speaking about just Homer, or about Hesiod and Archilochus too?
Ion: No, just Homer. I think that’s enough for me […]
Socrates: So you claim Homer and other poets, which include Hesiod and Archilochus, speak about the same subjects, but not in the same way? Some speak about these subjects well, others badly?
