Summary

Eryxias is a Socratic dialogue attributed to Plato, but which is considered spurious. It is set in the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios, and features Socrates in conversation with Critias, Eryxias, and Erasistratus. Eryxias may not have been written by Plato. The dialogue discusses whether wealth has value and what the aim of philosophy should be.
