Gorgias is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, set in Athens in the early 5th century BC. The dialogue is named after the renowned Greek sophist Gorgias of Leontini, who is the main interlocutor in the conversation.

The dialogue begins with a discussion about the nature of rhetoric and its relationship to truth. Socrates, the main protagonist of the dialogue, argues that rhetoric is merely a skill of persuasion, and that its practitioners do not necessarily possess knowledge of the subject matter they are discussing. Gorgias and his student Polus disagree, and argue that rhetoric can be used to achieve both knowledge and persuasion.

The discussion then turns to the question of whether or not it is better to suffer injustice or to commit injustice. Socrates argues that it is better to suffer injustice than to commit it, and that it is always better to do what is right rather than what is expedient. Gorgias and Polus, however, disagree and argue that it is better to be the one who is in power and able to do as they please.

The dialogue concludes with a discussion about the nature of happiness and whether or not it can be achieved through the pursuit of power and wealth. Socrates argues that true happiness comes from living a life of virtue and wisdom, rather than from external circumstances such as wealth and power.

Overall, Gorgias is a profound exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of philosophy, including the nature of truth, justice, and happiness. It remains one of Plato's most famous and influential works, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of philosophy.
