Resumo: The paper aims to examine some references to the theme of silence within Socratic dialogues. More particularly, the analysis focuses on the importance recognized to the virtue of σιωπᾶν in two specific fields: 1) the education of youth and 2) the dialogical exchange. The first aspect is investigated mainly through the exam of Aeschines’ Miltiades, which depicts positively the ability in young people to remain silent (Stob. 2.31, 23; Plu. De recta rat. aud. 4 p. 39b-c) and presents close parallels, in this regard, with some non-Socratic works (especially X. Lac. 3.5 and Isoc. Bus. 28-29). The second aspect, not unrelated to the former, is dealt with by taking into account a reference to the role of silence in Plato’s Protagoras (329b), which sheds light on its anti-Sophistic overtone.

Più particolarmente, l’analisi si concentra sull’importanza riconosciuta alla virtù del σιωπᾶν in due specifici ambiti: 1) l’educazione dei giovani e 2) lo scambio dialogico. Il primo aspetto è indagato soprattutto a partire dal Milziade di Eschine di Sfetto, che presenta positivamente la capacità di tacere nei giovani (Stob. 2.31, 23; Plu. De recta rat. aud. 4 p. 39b-c) e che permette di istituire, a questo riguardo, alcuni paralleli con opere non socratiche (in particolare X. Lac. 3.5 e Isoc. Bus. 28-29). Il secondo aspetto, non privo di connessioni con il primo, è invece approfondito soprattutto a partire da un riferimento al ruolo del silenzio nel Protagora platonico (329b), che consente di indagarne la funzione più specificamente anti-sofistica.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2019-12-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/2849810.14195/1984-249X_28_8Revista Archai; No. 28 (2020): Archai 28 (2020 [1]); e02808Archai Journal; n. 28 (2020): Archai 28 (2020 [1]); e028081984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_28reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBitahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/28498/24301Copyright (c) 2020 Francesca Pentassuglioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPentassuglio, Francesca2019-12-30T00:09:35Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/28498Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2019-12-30T00:09:35Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
