Plato (428/427 or 424/423 BCE – 348/347 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher, widely considered the most pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition. He was a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle.
In 1497, during the Bonfire of the Vanities, the Preacher, one of Girolamo Savonarola's nine lieutenants, stated that Savonarola condemned the teachings of both Plato and Aristotle, remarking that the only good thing they owed them was bringing forward many arguments which they could use against the heretics and that they and other philosophers were in Hell.[1]
In 1868, Evie Frye quoted Plato while talking to her brother Jacob, although Jacob mistakenly believed that she was quoting their father, Ethan Frye.[2]
