In contrast to his reticence about himself, Plato often introduced his distinguished relatives into his dialogues or referred to them with some precision. In addition to Adeimantus and Glaucon in the "Republic", Charmides has a dialogue named after him; and Critias speaks in both "Charmides" and "Protagoras". These and other references suggest a considerable amount of family pride and enable us to reconstruct Plato's family tree. According to Burnet, "the opening scene of the "Charmides" is a glorification of the whole connection ... Plato's dialogues are not only a memorial to Socrates but also the happier days of his own family."
