When the Dolphin arrived with his burden in sight of land not far from Athens, he asked the Monkey if he were an Athenian.
Whether all the persons mentioned in the Republic could ever have met at any one time is not a difficulty which would have occurred to an Athenian reading the work forty years later, or to Plato himself at the time of writing (any more than to Shakespeare respecting one of his own dramas); and need not greatly trouble us now.
