2. Plato, Lysis, Symposium, Gorgias, W. R. M. Lamb, trans. (Cambridge, MA: Harvard Loeb Editions, 1996), 249–250.

6. Plato, Apology 21a.

7. The younger orator Polus, who replaces Gorgias, recalls the young Polemarchus, who takes over the argument, when his old father Cephalus retires to his religious duties. Polus’ entrance too mirrors the fierce entrance of Thrasymachus in the Republic. Both claim that previous speakers have been too “ashamed” to tell the whole truth, however dark; they do not share the sense of shame that would quiet their uglier opinions.

8. Homer. Iliad, I. 185-186.

9. Callicles shows that Gorgias’ actions are governed by a sense of shame that is other-related; he explains that Gorgias would accept students lacking knowledge of justice because he is sensitive to people’s habit of becoming indignant if refused what they want.
