Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher; a student of Socrates, a teacher of Aristotle. His most famous work is, probably, The Republic.

Plato was decendend from a moderately well off family. His ancestor, Glaucon, was one of the most well known members of the Athenian aristocracy.

Plato was deeply influenced by the Pythagoreans, whose notions of numerical harmony have clear echo's in Plato's notion of The Forms.

Obviously, we need to say a lot more about Plato...
