And here it is on the Agora. Or should that be IN the Agora?
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Re: Maieutic
It should definitely be "in the Agora", since the Agora was a marketplace. It was usually a gathering place for citizens where they talked, often people would go there without buying anything just to talk with friends. That's how the words metaphorical sense came about.
