What is Socrates’ argument against Thrasymachus’ “justice is the interest of the stronger”?

"The young and energetic Polemarchus came up with the idea of ??"paying back debts" as mentioned by the great poet Simonides, and wanted to borrow Simon from a hundred years ago in the "argument session" Ned's authority came to shock Socrates, but Socrates used "Simonides can't be wrong" to use clever irony, pointing out that Polemarchus only had a superficial understanding of "paying back debts" < /p>

Socrates then began to "induce" Polemarchus. By answering "what should be given to friends and what should be given to enemies", Polemarchos revised and proposed his answer. The concept of justice - justice is to "give everyone an appropriate reward"; justice is to "help friends and do harm to enemies" (do good to friends, and do harm to enemies)

This view sounds very strange. It's like the ancient Greek version of "Be as warm as spring to your comrades, and be as ruthless as winter to your enemies", but Socrates immediately refuted this "appropriate reward" "
