A Hypothetical Discussion between Socrates from Plato’s “Republic” and Hector from Homer’s “The Iliad” in Regards to War and Justice
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper which develops a line of discussion between Socrates and Hector from “The Iliad”. In Plato’s “The Republic” written in 360 BCE, Socrates is presented in different levels of dialogue which in many instances examine the aspect of war and justice. In Book I (332a-336d), Socrates discusses aspects of justice in war with Polemarchus, the lord of war. The dialogue between Polemarchus in regards to some just actions during war could be seen an area in which Hector from Homer’s “The Iliad” written in 800 BCE would have plenty of input if given the chance. While Hector originally comes off as a staid warrior, similar to that of Polemarchus, Hector nevertheless is able to negotiate and implement contracts with his “enemies” which would in the end be satisfactory to Socrates who found justice was not necessarily found in treating a friend well and an enemy cruelly but indeed treating a just man justly.
