Socrates uses the statues of Daedalus as a way to explain to Meno how opinions (doxai) differ from pieces of knowledge (epistemai). One episteme, according to this account, is one doxa bound by "a reasoning of cause" (aitias logismos). Socrates suggests that they had agreed to this during the discussion of recollection (anamnesis), which is patently false. Meno once again fails Socrates' attempt to make him remember things already said in the dialogue.
