Although the Meno seems to be a standard Socratic examination of a philosophic subject, we can, perhaps, hear the echoes of Orphic mystery teachings concerning the life of the soul both prior to and following our earthly life. Plato’s view of education seems to be rooted in the teachings of unnamed but wise “priests and priestesses” who saw beyond the boundaries of this life. Ultimately the dialogue brings us the Tiresias who retains his profound knowledge even in Hades. We’ll explore and discuss how Orphism bears upon the main theme of the dialogue – the issue of the cultivation of virtue.
