Sophist
Unnamed philosopher from Elea, associated with Parmenides and Zeno, who conducts the dialectical search for a definition of the sophist through the method of division.
What divisions?
The angler to the sophist.
In acquisitive art, clearly.
Statesman
The unnamed visitor from Elea who leads the dialectical inquiry into the nature of the true statesman, using division, myth-correction, and the example of weaving.
So now the whole tale is told;
What is this class of possessions?
There remain, however, the arts that have to do with the state itself.
