why Plato asserted that the Greek gods were “perfect” despite many stories, legends, and myths where they were fallible and “immoral”
In: 60
Plato never said they were perfect.
He just said that they had ‘perfect understanding’ of higher concepts like justice and beauty, as they were higher beings, not weighed down by mortality.
Zeus was a complete shithead rapist who went to extremes at the drop of a hat, but his immortality gave him unique insight into things like…real beauty. Or justice.
