The dialogue features Socrates engaging with sophists at a dinner, exploring the true nature of rhetoric and exposing the shortcomings of sophistic persuasion prevalent in Athens. Through this conversation, Socrates critiques the idea of rhetoric as a mere tool for political and legal gain, arguing for a deeper understanding of true politics. The presence of sophists like Gorgias, who are drawn to Athens' intellectual allure, highlights the cultural dynamics of the time and the significance of rhetoric in society.
