Add to ORKGSocrates\u27s commitment to \u27follow the argument wherever it leads\u27 seems to be at odds with his notorious \u27divine sign\u27 or daimonion. It appears in several dialogues as a divine force that Socrates cannot help but to obey, even in some cases where no negative consequences would seem to have otherwise obtained. This paper explores the meaning of the daimonion in the religious and cultural contexts of early Greece, concluding that the scope of the daimonion is restricted to Socrates\u27 practical activities rather than his theoretical engagements
