A gadfly is a person who interferes with the status quo of a society or community by posing novel, potentially upsetting questions, usually directed at authorities. The term is originally associated with the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, in his defense when on trial for his life.
History
Ancient Greece
Socrates
The term (epitheton [1]) "gadfly", in Platonic sources of ancient Greek shown as μύωπός, specifically within Apology 30-31,[2] was used by Plato in the Apology[3] to describe Socrates's relationship with Athens, as Athens analogous to a horse, with Socrates an insect, as part of the defence made by Socrates of his own self against accusations made against him in his trial. The existence of the association of Socrates to a fly, states [4] the symbiotic [5] horse→fly to show specifically the value of the [4] ecological relationship [6] of a fly to a horse (known to the interlocutor Socrates), because the horse is benefited by being disturbed to exercise, [4] subsequent critical literary evaluation determines the association made to make heroic qualities of Socrates. [7]
The insect is thought to be have been (to be) perhaps the horse-fly, [8] or the so-called bot-fly [9] (subfamily Oestrinae, Nasal Bot flies [10]), or warble-fly[9] (subfamily Hypodermatinae[10]) [9] (both considered important members of the superfamily Oestridae (made of four families) [11]), or specifically any one relevant insect,[12] of a variety [9] of contemporary insects.[12]
The English language word gad, is found, in the comprehensively distant 13th century England, amongst words of the Middle English language, [13] in print (online at least), at least as past as ca 1540 [14] The Play of Wyt and Science (John Redford, composed during the reign of Henry VIII [15]) [16]
SCIENCE. Art a sweryng to? Now by my hood, you foolyshe knaves breeche vj.strypes shal bere!
WYT. Ye, Godes bones! foole and knave to be! ye there By the mas call me foole once agayne, or thou shalt sure call a blo or twayne!
EXPERIENCE Cum away, dowghter, the foole is mad!
WYT. Nay, nor yet nether ye shal gad ! We wyll gre better, or ye pas hence. I praye the now, goode swete ladye Science, All this strange maner now hyde and cover, And play the goodfelowe wyth thy lover!
SCIENCE.What goodfelowshyppe wold ye of me, Whome ye know not, nether yet I know ye!
WYT. Know ye not me!
which is a time contemporaneous to the emergence of gadfly as a 16th century construct of "gad", plus evidently, "fly". [17]
Μύωψ (μύωψ), [18] synonomous with gadfly, is a subsequent transferal of meaning from "μύωπός" (although μύωψ doesn't exist in the original): [19]
...ὑμῖν ἐμοῦ καταψηφισάμενοι. ἐὰν γάρ με ἀποκτείνητε, οὐ ῥᾳδίως ἄλλον τοιοῦτον εὑρήσετε, ἀτεχνῶς—εἰ καὶ γελοιότερον εἰπεῖν—προσκείμενον τῇ πόλει ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ὥσπερ ἵππῳ μεγάλῳ μὲν καὶ γενναίῳ, ὑπὸ μεγέθους δὲ νωθεστέρῳ καὶ δεομένῳ ἐγείρεσθαι ὑπὸ
— 30e
μύωπός τινος, οἷον δή μοι δοκεῖ ὁ θεὸς ἐμὲ τῇ πόλει προστεθηκέναι τοιοῦτόν τινα, ὃς ὑμᾶς ἐγείρων καὶ πείθων καὶ ὀνειδίζων ἕνα ἕκαστον οὐδὲν παύομαι τὴν ἡμέραν ὅλην πανταχοῦ προσκαθίζων.τοιοῦτος οὖν ἄλλος οὐ...
— 31a
shown here at the beginning of 31a (using perseus.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/), with parts of the text, at the outside of the sentence containing the word, as italicized.[20] Taking a moment, having realized this fact, to base our understanding on the language of the source (using Morwood and Taylor), [21] we find the words specifically relevant to the direction of thought here, within the text, given as:
- μυîα - fly
- οîστρος - gadfly
- ἵππος ου ό - horse
with a variant of the Morwood and Taylor word "horse" visible as ἵππῳ (the 22nd word after the italics, in the second line of 30e), μυîα is surmised as μύωπός, but οîστρος is strangely absent from the sentence.
The greek word (μύωπός in the original source) expressed as μύωψ in some later critical sources, specifically in relation to Socrates, [22] is (in sources of the latter not the former) also described subsequently as myops,[23] or muope. [24]
The word, μύωπός is used by Plato (and Socrates, or vice-vera), to communicate a metaphor, [9] where metaphor is thought in the modern aspect, by some to be "..deviant and parasitic upon normal usage..", [25] which is perceived as a classification of thinking, belonging to the classical perspective, by others, as "an essential characteristic of the creative use of language", which is thought to be typical of romantic positions on the subject, [26] in order of Socrates, to describe his activities, as necessary to arouse the unmoving (c.f. inert [27]) city-state Athens, [28] this being a good thing for the city, and so, necessitating his activities for the good, [29] against the bad position of his prosecution, incipient at a time after the return of democracy (during the year 403 or 402) to the government, after the governing of the Thirty (Tyrants). [30]
Bible
The Book of Jeremiah uses a similar analogy as a political[citation needed] metaphor: "Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north" (46:20, Darby Bible).
Modern politics
In modern politics, a gadfly is someone who persistently challenges people in positions of power, the status quo or a popular position.[31] For example, Morris Kline wrote, "There is a function for the gadfly who poses questions that many specialists would like to overlook. Polemics is healthy."[32] The word may be uttered in a pejorative sense or be accepted as a description of honourable work or civic duty.[33]
