The main character of this work calls another figure a "torpedo fish" after he gives a confusing answer to one of his questions.  The work is briefly interrupted by the nobleman Anytus, who comments that he's never cared to know any sophists and becomes offended by the implication that his son may not be as virtuous as he is. It begins with the title figure asking whether virtue can be taught, leading to this dialogue's namesake paradox about looking for truth without knowing what the truth is.
