14 - Plato's Republic 4: Myths 4 KidZ
This episode covers parts of books 2 and 3 of Plato’s Republic.
Adeimantus and Socrates start planning an education for the guardians. As it stands, young Athenians are fed an unhealthy banquet of lies written by the likes of Homer and Hesiod. Socrates wants new lies that set a good example for the kids. Lies with less fighting and sex and crying. Boring lies. And they might be for adults too.
Ancient music: Michael Levy
Adeimantus: Rebecca Amzallag
