  Gorgias excerpt
Polus: I mean, as I said before, the power of doing whatever seems good to you in a state, killing, banishing, doing in all things as you like.
Polus: Yes, Socrates, and I need not go far or appeal to antiquity; events which happened only a few days ago are enough to refute you, and to prove that many men who do wrong are happy.
Socrates: O Polus, I am not a public man, and only last year, when my tribe were serving as Prytanes, and it became my duty as their president to take the votes, there was a laugh at me, because I was unable to take them.

 Oxfordian Myths: Was Burghley Called "Polus"?
I suppose one could say that the word "polus" is more closely associated with Leicester than with Burghley, but even he is not called "Polus," and the word is not used as anybody's nickname by any poet anywhere in the volume.
Nor does the use of "polus" in poems on the queen, Leicester, and Oxford mean that any or all of them were actually the same person as Burghley.
Given this pattern, the "polus" myth is not an isolated instance but is representative of the carelessness and lack of scholarship without which Oxfordianism could not exist.

 Term paper on character sketch of socrates gorgias polus and callicles
Polus is a hot tempered but modest admirer of Gorgias who tries to defend Gorgias against Socrates.
He fights valiantly against the arguments put forward by Socrates by is soon overcome by the arguments of Socrates and fails to impress as a worthy opponent of Socrates.
Socrates adds salt to injury by calling both Gorgias and Polus as modest men; an indirect way to call them as cowards who cannot carry forward an argument to support their views and convictions.

 Oxfordian Myths: Was Burghley Called "Polus"?
I suppose one could say that the word "polus" is more closely associated with Leicester than with Burghley, but even he is not called "Polus," and the word is not used as anybody's nickname by any poet anywhere in the volume.
"Polus" is not an extremely uncommon word; it appears even in small Latin dictionaries and was used by such classical writers as Virgil, Ovid, and Horace to mean "sky" or "heaven" --the sense in which it was used by Pietro Bizarro and other poets in Gratulationes Valdinenses.
Given this pattern, the "polus" myth is not an isolated instance but is representative of the carelessness and lack of scholarship without which Oxfordianism could not exist.

 Videotaped Statement on the Occasion of the Fifth Annual Benefit Dinner for The Polus Center
This is a classic example of committed individuals banding together at their own initiative and on their own time to establish a successful non-governmental organization that has effectively reached out the hand of kindness to our good friends and neighbors in Nicaragua and Honduras.
We did this because we were genuinely impressed by the Polus Center's model of community-based, full-service prosthetic outreach and rehabilitation services -- the Walking Unidos center in Leon, Nicaragua that treats people who have been both directly and indirectly harmed by the effects of conflict.
And I thank Michael and everyone at the Polus Center for their extraordinary grass-roots efforts that have brought hope and made a real difference to so many people in Leon and Choluteca.

 Hungarian rhapsody - Forbes.com - MSNBC.com
In fact, optimism about Hungarian tourism is so high that founder Peter Polus expects to make good on his investment within a decade, and is planning 25 luxury condos--to be rented on a time-share basis--nearby.
Even though Hungary is landlocked, and the Polus Palace itself isn't adjacent to any major water source, like a lake or the Danube River (which winds through the center of Budapest), the hotel's facilities, including an on-site casino and a full-service spa, lend the hotel a resort-like feel.
The Polus Palace is located in the rural town of Göd, about 25 minutes outside Budapest and an additional 20 minutes from Ferihegy Airport, so the hotel is easily accessible by taxi.

 Plato's Gorgias 447-466
POLUS: Yes, indeed, and if you like, Chaerephon, you may make trial of me too, for I think that Gorgias, who has been talking a long time, is tired.
POLUS: O Chaerephon, there are many arts among mankind which are experimental, and have their origin in experience, for experience makes the days of men to proceed according to art, and inexperience according to chance, and different persons in different ways are proficient in different arts, and the best persons in the best arts.
SOCRATES: Because, Polus, when Chaerephon asked you what was the art which Gorgias knows, you praised it as if you were answering some one who found fault with it, but you never said what the art was.

 Gorgias, by Plato (gorgias)
SOCRATES: But in my opinion, Polus, the unjust or doer of unjust actions is miserable in any case,—more miserable, however, if he be not punished and does not meet with retribution, and less miserable if he be punished and meets with retribution at the hands of gods and men.
I cannot say very much for his wit when he conceded to you that to do is more dishonourable than to suffer injustice, for this was the admission which led to his being entangled by you; and because he was too modest to say what he thought, he had his mouth stopped.
When Polus was speaking of the conventionally dishonourable, you assailed him from the point of view of nature; for by the rule of nature, to suffer injustice is the greater disgrace because the greater evil; but conventionally, to do evil is the more disgraceful.

 PAR 342: Socrates
Yes, indeed, Polus, that is my doctrine; the men and women who are gentle and good are also happy, as I maintain, and the unjust and evil are miserable.
But in my opinion, Polus, the unjust or doer of unjust actions is miserable in any case,-more miserable, however, if he be not punished and does not meet with retribution, and less miserable if he be punished and meets with retribution at the hands of gods and men.
O Polus, I am not a public man, and only last year, when my tribe were serving as Prytanes, and it became my duty as their president to take the votes, there was a laugh at me, because I was unable to take them.

For I certainly think that I and you and every man do really believe, that to do is a greater evil than to suffer injustice: and not to be punished than to be punished.
Polus: To be sure, I will-for I am curious to hear what you can have to say.
