What are the horns of dilemma that Socrates presents to Meletus?
Socrates presents Meletus with a dilemma by questioning whether he believes that Socrates corrupts the youth intentionally or unintentionally. If Meletus answers that it's intentional, then Socrates wouldn't harm his own soul intentionally. If he answers unintentional, then there would be no need for punishment. This creates a contradiction in Meletus's argument.
What about Meletus is Socrates undermining when Socrates uses these words against his accuser Meletus Nobody will believe you Meletus I cannot help thinking men of Athens that Meletus is reckless?
Socrates is using an Ethos argument. His words are directed more to the audience and whoever overhears, than to Meletus. In his comments, "Nobody will believe you, Meletus, and I am pretty sure that you do not believe yourself. I cannot help thinking, men of Athens, that Meletus is reckless ..." Socrates attacks Meletus' veracity, his truthfulness, and whether anyone should trust him. To switch to a modern scene, this would be like yelling at a friend during an argument, "Everyone knows you are a cheat! You cheat on homework; you cheat on tests; for all we know, you recklessly cheat in everything you do!" The point has less to do with truth as with undermining the other person's power by undermining it in the hearer's mind.
