According to Chapter Two, the Sophists offered a kind of advanced education to anyone capable of paying their high fees. They did not select their students based on family connections or social status. Offering rhetorical training strictly on the basis of ability to pay allowed a much wider range of Athenians access to education, and in the process threatened some members of the aristocracy. Sophists were highly controversial in Athens. They professed to tach virtue, which many Greeks doubted could be taught. The sophists taught for pay, which was frowned upon. They also were often itinerants traveling from place to place looking for work. - Answer True
