==Legacy== One of the characters in [[Plato]]'s ''[[Sophist (dialogue)|Sophist]]'' is "an Eleatic stranger";<ref>Plato, [https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1735/1735-h/1735-h.htm Sophist: ''Persons of the Dialogue''], the [[Project Gutenberg]] EBook of Sophist, translated by [[Benjamin Jowett]], accessed on 4 January 2025</ref> Plato also acknowledged the Eleatics in the ''[[Parmenides (dialogue)|Parmenides]]'' and the ''[[Statesman (dialogue)|Statesman]]''. Some authors suggest that Meno's paradox, in Plato's dialogue ''[[Meno]]'', can be linked to the Eleatic distinction between "knowing" and "not-knowing".<ref>Calvert, B., [https://muse.jhu.edu/article/227850 Meno's Paradox Reconsidered], ''Journal of the History of Philosophy'', Volume 12, Number 2, April 1974, accessed on 4 January 2025</ref>
