"Πολιτεία, Τόμος 2" by Plato is a philosophical text written in the 4th century BC. This work is part of a larger dialogue that explores justice, the ideal state, and the nature of good governance. The text addresses the role of poetry and myth in society, particularly how they influence the education and morals of the citizenry, and critiques the societal values presented through literature. The opening of the text presents a discussion among Socrates and his companions about the impact of poetry and mythology on the character of the youth. Socrates argues for the exclusion of certain themes from poetic works, particularly those that might instill fear of death or glorify negative traits such as greed and cowardice. Instead, he advocates for a portrayal of nobility and virtues in literature to ensure that society's future guardians—its warriors—are taught to value bravery and righteousness. This portion sets the stage for further philosophical inquiries into ethics, education, and the role of art in shaping public life.
