Alcibiades II

Plato

Alcibiades is going to pray to the gods and Socrates warns him of the danger of asking for what is not good for him: without knowing what is best, a prayer may bring misfortune, as shown by those who prayed for power or children. He concludes that one must wait to learn how to behave towards gods and men. A short dialogue on prayer and ignorance.
