Menon asks Socrates, "Can virtue be taught?" in one of the famous dialogues presented by Plato about Socrates. Socrates and Menon proceed to first define what a virtue is and then they investigate if it can be taught.
Here is a very good summary of the dialogue. The complete text can be found in the book 'Great dialogues of Plato'.
