Lesser Hippias

"Lesser Hippias" by Plato is a philosophical conversation from ancient Greece that looks at what it means to be truthful or deceptive. It's like watching a debate between Socrates, who's famous for asking tough questions, and Hippias, a show-off who thinks he knows everything. They argue about heroes like Achilles and Odysseus to figure out whether it's better to be true or false. Socrates uses his questioning skills to show that even someone who seems smart, like Hippias, can get confused when talking about what's true and what's not. The story doesn't give easy answers, but it makes you think about whether anyone can really be sure about what's right or wrong, or who's telling the truth.
