Critias: "Listen then Socrates.  The story is a strange one, but Solon, the wisest of the seven wise men, once vouched its truth."

Socrates: "What better choice could there be, Critias?  Your story is particularly well suited to the present festival of the Goddess, with whom it is connected, and it is a great point in its favour that it is not a fiction but a true history"
