Note 54 — Chapter XXXV · PLATONIC REPUBLIC — ABSTRACT.
Reading edition
Plato, Republic, ii. p. 376 E. Τίς οὖν ἡ παιδεία; ἢ χαλεπὸν εὑρεῖν βελτίω τῆς ὑπὸ τοῦ πολλοῦ χρόνου εὑρημένης ἔστι δέ που ἡ μὲν ἐπὶ σώμασι γυμναστική, ἡ δ’ ἐπὶ ψυχῇ μουσική.
This appeal of Plato to antiquity and established custom deserves notice.
