[536e] you have first answered me this: on what thing in Homer's story do you speak well? Not on all of them, I presume.

Ion
I assure you, Socrates, on all without a single exception.

Socrates
Not, of course, including those things of which you have in fact no knowledge, but which Homer tells.

Ion
And what sort of things are they, which Homer tells, but of which I have no knowledge?

Plato. Plato in Twelve Volumes, Vol. 9 translated by W.R.M. Lamb. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1925.
