Note 149 — Chapter III · PLATO
Reading edition
Rep. 552A, C, 564E; cf. Laws 901A, where he refers to the passage in Hesiod’s Erga 304: κηφηνέσσι κοθούροις. Cf. p. 27, n. 1, above. Poehlmann (op. cit., II, 87 f.) points to Plato’s demand that woman be freed, so that the total number of free workers may be increased, but Plato is thinking only of the ruling class.
