In Clouds, after Socrates meet Strepsiades, he said “What do you mean “Zeus”? Stop gibbering. Zeus does not exist”, and then he states the reason why Zeus does not exist, clouds is the one to produce the rain instead of the Zeus because when Zeus is not home there being still rain. In Symposium, when Socrates used his usual method, dialect, to ask Agathon the question about love, that shows this important figure of his personality. ““That is, you are the brother or sister of a brother or sister are not you?” “yes”” to ““No”, said Socrates, “it is the truth you cannot refute, my dear Agathon. Socrates is pushover.”” He brings in his think to the audience through a series question, he did not miss any important factor to guide into his opinion about love. His preciseness when thinking a problem, help us feel his argument is reliable which increase his credibility. The benefit for collect evidence from both texts instead of one is to make it more reliable rather single-faceted. By reading two texts, we could find a Socrates who is big indifference, small in common. In Symposium, we see a moderate Socrates, very peaceable and temperate, respectful for others speech. But in Clouds, Socrates has a bad temper, less patience, and irascibility, for example, “keep your mouth shut” (147). But reading the texts, we still could find some similarity, even though in every piece of writing an author may have different
