All answers are strictly reflections of the questions being asked, and are not necessarily Stoic responses.
1) Make a list of all the goods that Socrates identifies. There are two distinct types of goods, here, (a) the ones that Socrates mentions first, and (b) the ones he mentions last. Try to think of headings for the two types of goods. Answer: Goods - Socrates (according to Plato; Euthydemus: 278e-279c) Externals (indifferents) Wealth Healthy Beauty goods Personal gifts Good birth Power Honors
Internals - Virtues Temperance Justice Courage Wisdom
2) Why, according to Socrates, is merely having possession of good things not sufficient to confer happiness? Answer: Good things* may be used for either good or evil, but merely possessing them without using them gives us nothing. *"Good things" is used to reference the question only; whereas a Stoic would understand that the only true goods t be internals.
3) What does Clinias conclude is sufficient for happiness? Answer: To use good things rightly.
