The dialogue explores the nature of rhetoric through a conversation between Socrates and sophists at a dinner gathering. Socrates challenges the sophists' views, seeking to define rhetoric and expose the shortcomings of their persuasive techniques. Set against the backdrop of classical Athens, where rhetoric was essential for political and legal success, the discussion highlights the distinction between genuine political practice and sophistic manipulation. Gorgias, a foreign rhetorician, exemplifies the allure of Athens' intellectual culture.
