Simmias of Thebes appears as a main discussion partner in a dialogue from the man who founded what?
Simmias of Thebes Simmias of Thebes (Greek: Σιμμίας Θηβαῖος ; fl. 5th–4th century BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher, disciple of Socrates, and a friend of Cebes. In his "Memorabilia", Xenophon includes him in the inner circle of Socrates' followers. He appears in Plato's "Phaedo" as a main discussion partner of Socrates alongside Cebes, as well as "Crito", "Phaedrus", and "Epistile" "XIII".
Cato the Younger Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis ( ; 95 BC, Rome – April 46 BC, Utica), commonly known as Cato the Younger ("Cato Minor") to distinguish him from his great-grandfather (Cato the Elder), was a politician and statesman in the late Roman Republic, and a follower of the Stoic philosophy. A noted orator, he is remembered for his stubbornness and tenacity (especially in his lengthy conflict with Julius Caesar), as well as his immunity to bribes, his moral integrity, and his famous distaste for the ubiquitous corruption of the period.
