In this final episode on Hippias Minor we see how the dialogue is a dramatization of the consequences of the Many's misconstrual of appearance as a good in itself. Plato has made concrete three aspects of dynamis (ability/power) in the form of the paradeigmata "dialectician" (representing true ability as a means), and two paradeigmata for dynamis treated as a good end in itself - "aristocrat" (social ability/power), "craftsman" (technical ability). These paradeigmata are made palatable for a dialogue by adding personalizing details to them to make them deigmata, embellished copies of the paradeigmata. "Dialectician" becomes a deigma with the name Socrates, "Aristocrat" a deigma "Eudicus" leading many other less clearly drawn deigmata all of whom are aristocrats, and "Craftsman" becomes an extreme all-round handyman with the name Hippias. These deigmata happen to have some of the qualities of the historical Socrates, Eudicus, and Hippias, but they are nevertheless faithful to their paradeigmata with additional details. In other words, they are as extremely clear-cut as the aspects of dynamis which they represent.
