ABSTRACT
Socrates, as we have seen, took it as a primary duty to fulfill the injunction at Delphi, ‘Know thyself!’ And he needed, he thought, to determine whether or not he was a hundred-headed monster like Typhon. But how? What kind of capacity would help him in his quest? Socrates leaves this question hanging; it is one of his legacies. And Freudian psychoanalysis offers a fascinating answer.
