The Theory of Recollection
• Meno 《美诺篇》 • In the dialogue with Meno's slave, Socrates shows Meno that
learning is through recollection. • Phaedo 《斐多篇》 .• Cebes, saying:

But this would be impossible unless our soul had been somewhere before existing in this form of man; here then is another proof of the soul's immortality.

Even though Homer and other poets sometimes speak of the same subjects, Ion has nothing to say about those others. Something in Homer makes him eloquent, and other poets lack that quality.
