Bilingual collection. Plato paints the portrait of a flamboyant politician in his youth: Alcibiades. Handsome, rich, well-born, and familiar with the powerful, he has everything it takes to one day exercise his dominance over Athens, but also Greece and Asia. The question remains whether he has the skills, whether he will know what to do with this power. What would he have in mind: his own interests or the public interest? He will only be able to answer all these questions by first accepting the effort of self-knowledge.
