Socrates continues his reply to.Meno's first question since Meno fails to react to any of the shocking things Socrates says. Having portrayed Gorgias as a seller of sophia, teaching people to be able to answer any question put to them, and having adopted Meno's conception of abstracts as concrete things, it follows that Gorgias' move from Attica to Thessaly has resulted in a drought of sophia in Attica, meaning that no one in Attica could possible answer Meno's question - and yet Meno fails to conclude that Socrates cannot answer his question; Socrates will have to spell this out next time.
