Thukydides, Aspasia und Platons Menexenos

Abstract
The questions concerning the time of origin of the Menexenos and the possible relations with Thucydides have in my opinion found their answers in the works by C. W. Müller and M. Pohlenz. Yet some things in this dialogue still remain unexplained, such as the function of Aspasia. According to Plato, she is not only the author of the epitaphios that Socrates recites in the Menexenos, but also the one which Pericles had presented 50 years earlier. I propose that through the purposely invented identity of the author the later work becomes an explication of that which Aspasia in her earlier work could only imply.
