Idemantis and Glauk on a Bit of Dialogue

David Frum: Is it true that almost everyone at this dinner party or whatever we want to call it, basically as a victim of the 30 tyrants? Well, Polomarkus gets killed. Lithius does not because he wrote a speech called against Eratosthenes. He's also initially there when he even thinks, well, maybe I don't need a city at all. Maybe I'll just live by myself and take everything for myself. And so you see that their glauk on boldness or daring on the one hand and Idemantis is sort of restraint or natural inclination towards moderation. They both play a sort of thematic role as the dialogue unfolds.
