Hippias Minor

Plato

After a display by Hippias on Homer, Socrates asks who is better, Achilles or the wily Odysseus, and leads the sophist to the paradoxical conclusion that one who errs voluntarily is better than one who does so involuntarily. The dialogue leaves the paradox open, as a provocation about the relation between knowledge and virtue.
