What is beauty?

Socrates: “But still, my good friend, consider ; for he asked you, not what is beautiful, but what the beautiful is.” 

Hippias: “I understand, my good friend, and I will answer and tell him what the beautiful is, and I shall never be confuted. For be assured, Socrates, if I must speak the truth, a beautiful maiden is beautiful.” - Plato, Greater Hippias
