My original definition of arete was "Of great value" but if found out that i was a little wrong and the real definition is "
the aggregate of qualities, as valor and virtue, making up good character. " So i was a little off. But Socrates and the Greek's where able to use this because Socrates was a man who was way smarter then all these other people that looked up to him so in a way he was able to get to the top of the totum pole and so he made up good character
"Of great value" is not too bad a definition. Try to explain more about the qualities that gave Socrates this arete. 21/25 (B).
