Two sophists display their dizzying array of logical fallacies in a comedic yet pointed examination of how language can be twisted to confuse rather than illuminate. Socrates narrates this encounter to Crito, detailing how the brothers Euthydemus and Dionysodorus entrap young students with verbal puzzles and semantic traps. The dialogue acts as a cautionary tale against the abuse of dialectic, distinguishing the mere game of argumentation from the serious pursuit of wisdom. It effectively highlights the danger of valuing victory in debate over the discovery of truth.
