  abstract: Few would doubt that Plato intends to portray Socrates as an exemplar of human excellence. In Plato's Apology, Socrates cites the authority of Delphi in support of his claim to be the wisest of men, if only because he is so well aware of his own ignorance. Later in that same dialogue, we learn that Socrates also realizes that, he has a reputation for being "superior to the majority of human beings" and the context make clear that the kind of superiority he has in mind is a superiority in virtue. In Plato's other dialogues, as well, Socrates seems clearly to be identified as superior with respect to whatever positive trait or virtue is under discussion.
