aidos (shame) and Arete (virtue) are among the most fundamental ethical concepts in the works of ancient Greek thinkers, especially Aristotle's moral philosophy; Concepts such as shame, humility, respect, chastity, are among the terms related to the translation of aidos, among which the concept of shame is the definition that Aristotle has of aidos. And the results obtained indicate that in his works (Nicomachean Ethics, Eudymosian Ethics and Oratory) Aristotle places aidos under the virtues, but in Nicomachean Ethics he mentions two arguments that are contrary to other parts of the treatise on aidos. And he does not consider aidos as a virtue and excludes it from the rule of golden moderation. In the first reason, Aristotle considered aidos to be more like emotions than moral properties, and in the second reason, he considers both virtues and aidos to be worthy of praise, but considered aidos to be exclusive to young people.
