The duel here is approached as a dialogue, a confrontation that recalls the Platonic conversations.
Charmides is precisely that:
A contest between two figures armed with the same ‘weapons’ (speech, reason, counter-arguments).
There is no physical violence, but an intellectual duel that functions like a ritual.
In the series of sculptures “Charmides”, Dimitris Tampakis explores this very idea, presenting the encounter as a sculptural embodiment of philosophical tension and ritualised intellectual conflict.
