Abstract
This article examines the use of Homeric quotations and references in Plato and Xenophon, and is intended as a contribution to the debate over so-called Socratic problem. The distribution of such references in both authors indicates that the historical Socrates probably did use Homeric references frequently in his conversation, but the myth-making out of Homeric elements is unique to Plato's Socrates and therefore is likely to be more Platonic than Socratic.
