ARBE, Rodolfo. The Anonymity in the Elenchoi of Protagoras and Gorgias. arete [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.2, pp.235-258. ISSN 1016-913X. http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/arete.201702.001.
This paper is part of the studies on anonymity in Plato. The question of anonymity is not limited to the disappearance of the author behind the words of the characters, but includes other aspects, within which we may include the figure of the anonymous interlocutor. In this paper we will analyze the intervention of this anonymous interlocutor in the elenchoi of Protagoras and Gorgias, for the purpose of determining the role of their inclusion in these dialogues. In the analyzed cases the anonymous interlocutor takes the word, by means of the indefinite pronoun "someone" (tis), the figure of the majority (hoi polloi), or under the mask of some profession (doctor, banker, etc.).
