Euthydemus

Plato Plato

Sinopsis

Euthydemus by Plato Euthydemus (Greek: Εὐθύδημος, Euthydemes), written c. 384 BC, is a dialogue by Plato which satirizes what Plato presents as the logical fallacies of the Sophists.[1] In it, Socrates describes to his friend Crito a visit he and various youths paid to two brothers, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, both of whom were prominent Sophists and pankrationists from Chios and Thurii.

The Euthydemus contrasts Socratic argumentation and education with the methods of Sophism, to the detriment of the latter. Throughout the dialogue, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus continually attempt to ensnare Socrates with what are presented as deceptive and meaningless arguments, primarily to demonstrate their professed philosophical superiority.

As in many of the Socratic dialogues, the two Sophists against whom Socrates argues were indeed real people. Euthydemus was somewhat famous at the time the dialogue was written, and is mentioned several times by both Plato and Aristotle. Likewise, Dionysodorus is mentioned by Xenophon.

America’s Most Famous...

Editors Charles River

It was the great mystery of its time and still reads like an episode of “Law and Order” today. In December 1910, a wealthy young woman, thought to be sheltered and above reproach, goes missing shortly after being seen in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The police are called in and begin to question those closest to her, only to have her father, a wealthy manufacturer, insist it must be foul play and that his daughter was on good terms with her entire family. Likewise, he claims that though she was in her mid-20s and in the prime of life, she had no serious romantic attachments.
By the mid-1930s, Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous women in the world. The American pilot had set a number of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date.
On November 24, 1971, there was little to suggest that the skies above the Pacific Northwest would produce one of the greatest mysteries in American history and a criminal investigation that is still ongoing over 40 years later. However, on the day before Thanksgiving, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle and sat in the rear of the cabin. The identity of the thief who ransomed hostages and then jumped out of a plane with the money that night remains unknown. In fact, his ultimate fate is a mystery.

The Invisible Woman - The True...

Steve B. Davis

The Invisible Woman: The True Story of Virginia Hall, the American Female Spy Who Outwitted the Nazis and Helped Win World War II uncovers the remarkable life of one of the most daring and effective spies of World War II. Operating behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Europe, Virginia Hall's contributions were crucial to the success of the Allied war effort, yet her story remained largely hidden for decades.
 
Born in 1906 in Baltimore, Hall was an unlikely candidate for espionage, yet after losing her leg in a hunting accident, she defied the odds and became one of the most feared operatives in the Allied intelligence community. Despite the deeply ingrained gender biases and the physical limitations imposed by her prosthetic leg, Hall outsmarted the Gestapo and played a pivotal role in disrupting Nazi operations, particularly in France. Her work with the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) directly contributed to critical victories, including the success of D-Day.
 
Though she was dubbed "the most dangerous Allied spy in France," Hall was never publicly recognized during her lifetime. Her story remained overshadowed, buried under layers of secrecy, sexism, and institutional neglect. It wasn’t until decades later that the world began to uncover the extent of her achievements, with statues, books, and documentaries finally bringing her legacy into the light.
 
The Invisible Woman is a tribute to Virginia Hall’s courage, intelligence, and resilience. It not only recounts the thrilling espionage operations that helped win the war but also addresses the systemic biases Hall faced — gender, disability, and institutional neglect — offering a powerful reflection on the fight for recognition that continues for women in history.

Buried Treasure: A Collection of...

Charles River Editors

When Robert Louis Stevenson published Treasure Island in the late 19th century, it all but created every stereotype now associated with pirates. The book is a coming of age adventure that mixes character studies, action, a vivid setting, and commentary on the ambiguity of morality, as embodied by the memorable Long John Silver. Its influence on the popularity of historical pirates is unmistakable, with its inclusion of treasure maps where X marks the spot, schooners, tropical islands, and one-legged pirates with parrots on their shoulders. 
Of course, Stevenson’s work and the public’s fascination with pirates were hardly new phenomena. After all, people had heard tales of hidden booty and gold for centuries, from rumors about Blackbeard and Captain William Kidd to stories about outlaws and criminals burying their booty to come back for it at a later date. It was only fitting that Stevenson’s work came in the same era that people across the world were panning the earth for mineral resources, most notably the California Gold Rush in the late 1840s. 
As this all suggests, there’s something about buried treasure that catches someone’s attention like few other things. As soon as there’s the potential for uncovering hidden wealth, otherwise sane and reliable people will abandon their homes and regular lives and become obsessed with tracking down the treasure.
