- Are not you afraid that this young beauty will outshine your Mature beauty?
- You said yourself that there are no half beauty, or thirds, or quarters. Beauty or eat all at once, or not at all. So one cannot outshine the other, don't you, Socrates?

The gods need to ask in case if they hear our prayers. Just in case. Everything for your salvation have to do yourself.

- What is the monument of the Empire?
- It is in order: only the Empire can put up a monument because it has the means for such a monument and because only it has the highest point before the inevitable death. Bad or good, but let him remember her: she is the Supreme connection of perfection and ugliness, God and man. All the rest went to play provincials.
- So what are your secret thoughts, - said Socrates.
I have to think. Not my will performed, but the will of history. Herodotus today said it well: "Sitting on a lion can't jump with him voluntarily". Remember?
Remember. But because you control the will of the people is all they see.
But only to the extent that it allows him control. The cart itself is heading only down, but up it must either pull or push, and then when enough power or if not too large, the steepness of the climb. Let go of the cart and everything will fly into the abyss. I have been pushing this big old cart.

Books rot or burn, and the stones and metal that exist eternally, will survive the millennia as assure us of a pyramid.

- You want to be sarcastic? asked Pericles.
- They say that in small doses the poison and the cure, ' replied Socrates. - And stupidity in any dose is stupidity.
Is you talking about? - alert Anaxagoras.
Is your Mind the Creator of the world, in my opinion, only a large number, in which the endless possible permutations of digits, why it is endlessly changing. But why does the world have to follow these changes? I think that either your Mind is stupid, amused with the world such a disgraceful manner, either the world is stupid and weak-willed, following thy Mind in its meaningless game.

- That says Pericles, then repeat all over Athens. And what I say, then again only dogs reminded Anaxagorou his words Socrates, in retaliation, of course, his ironic smile.

All that said Sophocles, Perilon, Anaxagoras, Zeno, and Protagoras, to do - let them live the energy of these acts transform the world by laws of harmony, grandeur and wisdom.

Until the baby is born, invented a name for it doesn't matter. When all come true, like you said, Perilon, then the name that will be given.

I know that you are not satisfied with Anaxagoras in science and in science Damon - said Pericles Socrates.
What?
They were already at Tolosa and stopped.
In your heart you agree with what is said Anaxagoras: he says that the world is ruled by the Mind, and you believe that the government should also rule the Mind in the person an outstanding ruler. It is this reasonable ruler, to sing a powerful and clear voice, in the words of Damon, and the people just calm the chorus to sing along with him.
- Maybe, grinned in response Pericles. But I only know the one about what I think, Socrates. You know this is not necessary.

Pericles then asked, whether he shares the views of Damon, what Pericles said:
I agree with everything related to music: better than Damon no one knows what beautiful music. Regarding the society I will say this: Mason from his point of view can judge a society, and the Potter and the winemaker - every profession it seems the most important and complete of all sorts of truths that can be used in any other case. But the truth of the profession - only the truth of the profession. About the political system needs to talk policy, and the musicians about the music. Here Aesop said that Tanner appreciates the bull only by the skin of a living the same bull, full of strength and power, he knows nothing.
