Plato's ”Greater Hippias” is so far the earliest and most important piece to address ”beauty” systematically. This paper attempts to interpret and criticize it from the modern perspective of gender as part of the feminist re-examination and reflection on traditional thought. Therefore, the two major points of this paper are 1) Plato's ”Greater Hippias” actually deals with ”beauty;” 2) ”Greater Hippias” is interpreted and criticized from the perspective of gender. Though Plato admitted that both the concept and nature of ”beauty” are difficult, the issue of ”beauty” is still intriguing whether in the process of exploration or from the modern perspective of gender.
