The main goal of the paper is to rethink the several aspects of the so-called Plato's Theory of Recollection and to contribute to the discussion of the differences between the historical Socrates and Socrates in Plato. The author's argumentation draws upon his own interpretation of Plato's 'Meno'. As far as the recollection is concerned his conclusion is that we should distinguish between: a)- the recollection as a myth, playing an 'anti-misologic' and 'protreptic' roles in the dialogue, which should help us not to give up further researches; b)- the recollection itself, which occupies the place between maieutic art of Socratic midwifery and Plato's dialectic, which should help us to approach our experience critically, to find the solutions of the particular problems, and to set off as true those solutions, which, being the subject of inquiry, proved to be sufficiently coherent.

The aim of the article is to show that 'epimeleia heautou' (the care of the self) - one of the key issues of ancient Greek philosophy - can be found in a tradition which is older than the Socratic one. First, the author outlines modern paradigmatic interpretations of the history of philosophy (Platonic and Aristotelian) and tries to offer an alternative interpretation based on Hellenistic tradition influenced by Socrates. Then he explores the texts of archaic lyrics - the elegies of Theognis of Megara. Resulting from the analysis of the problem of Theognis' seal, and the parallels between Theognis and archaic lawgivers is the author's conviction, that the Theognidean poetry as a whole represents a coherent socio-political discourse based on the care of the 'polis'. In conclusion the author traces three basic Socratic issues in Theognidean poetry: political action, pedagogy, and love between a men and a boy.
