“Dodds sees even greater significance in ‘the powerful and disturbing eloquence that Plato has bestowed on Callicles’… This eloquence, adds Dodds, convinced the young Nietzsche, while Socrates’ reasoning left him cold. That is not surprising, but scarcely relevant. The apostle of the Herrenmoral, the Wille zur Macht, and Umwertung aller Werte did not need much convincing, for he was blood-brother to Callicles, whereas Socrates became for him, to quote Dodds again, ‘a fountain-head of false morality’.”
