- Wow, the Chorus wasn't lying—apparently Pheidippides is beating Strepsiades and using his newfound "wisdom" to prove that it's right for him to do it! Talk about karma.
- The Second Agon starts, in which the Chorus and Chorus Leader basically tell Streppy off for equipping his son with these intellectual weapons.
- They ask how the altercation between father and son began, and Strepsiades and Pheidippides reply with their sides of the story.
- Apparently, Strepsiades had asked Pheidippides to do some stuff at the banquet in his honor that Pheidippides didn't want to do, so Strepsiades started yelling at him… and then Pheidippides fought back—verbally and physically.
- The Chorus asks Pheidippides to convince them that what he did was right. So, he uses his new logic to prove that the act was just, questioning Strepsiades along the way to prove his point.
