Socrates develops the possibility that like can actually be friendly to like into a slightly different argument with a somewhat horrific example whereby a father values his son above all other things, but in an emergency supposedly values all the things contributing to the wellbeing of his son. He has not yet said that wine and the winecup are friendly to the son, but he should at some point if this argument is to follow from his earlier argument.

Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.
