Theages is a dialogue attributed to Plato, featuring Demodocus, Socrates and Theages. Scholars consider its authenticity doubtful. (See eg Richard Kraut in The Cambridge Companion to Plato, Cambridge 1992, p 35.)

Quoted by Nietzsche in Will to Power §958 "In Plato's Theages the following passage will be found; 'Every one of us would like if possible to be master of mankind; if possible a God', This attitude of mind must be reinstated in our midst." (trans. Anthony M Ludovici)
