v7 Chapter 59： Plato

Because even the best, when young, because of lack of knowledge, experience, easy to impulsive, reckless, easy to be tempted, children born during this period will often inherit these shortcomings, and the children born when the good thinks mature will Steady, thinking..."

When I heard this, some students were happy, and if they had income, some students were still thinking.

Spispus continued to ask: "Teacher, you said, 'In today's Greek city-state, Sparta is the best royal regime you have ever seen. Double King, Elder Council, Ombudsman... The establishment of these positions made Sparta a mixed monarchy, and neither party had absolute overbearing rights, and the greed for power was strongly restricted.

But now Sparta violates the Greek tradition and arrogantly encroaches on Thebes. What do you think of this? ”

"Shipipus." Plato faced Spispus, with a kind of loving kindness in his eyes, because Spispus was the son of his sister Potonet, and he said calmly: "I said Sparta is a good monarchy. It does not mean that it will become a city-state that fully follows the Greek tradition. It is precisely this kind of government of Sparta that enables it to dominate the Peloponnese for a long time. There is no big problem in the country. In today's chaotic situation, Sparta still holds the dominance of the Greek city-states. Isn't this the role played by its institutional superiority?

But Thebes is not a weak city. It is not easy for Sparta to completely enslave it. On the contrary, it will occupy the Acropolis of Thebes for a long time, and will only increase the resentment of the people of Thebes to Sparta. One day, this resentment will trigger a fire and burn the Spartan army, just as the Syracuse led the people of Athens to overthrow the rule of the Lord..."

"Mr. Plato, since Sparta is the best monarchy in the Greek city-state, what do you think of Dionya's royal system?" asked Aleflon from Corinth.

Dionya! Hearing this name, Plato's heart was awkward. He once yearned to visit the city-state alliance in the Western Mediterranean, but for various reasons he could not make it. There was always a regret in his heart.

Just as he was distracted, Ole Ass retorted: "Diaonia is not a Greek city-state, it is a political regime of aliens."

Alifulong retorted: "You see the drama of "Dyonia". The main ethnic group of the Kingdom of Dionia is the Greek, the center of the kingdom - Turui is the call of Pericles. The city built by the whole Greeks, there are also Crotone, Tarantum, Lokri... These are the famous Greek cities in the Western Mediterranean. Why did Diaonia not belong to Greece?! ”

"Diagna has not been recognized by Delphi. It can't even participate in the four major sports events. How can it be recognized as a Greek country?" Ole Ass rebutted.

"I heard that Ellis had sent an invitation to Dionya several times under Sparta's instructions, but Dionia said, 'As long as I agree to let the alien citizens participate in the Olympia Games, it will send a team." Sis did not agree, and Dionya did not participate in the Olympia Games," Spitzs reminded.

“Is this just to show that our Greek city-states have doubts about the identity of Dionia?”

......

Plato did not stop the students' arguments. While listening to the students' opinions, he also thought about how to better answer the question of Averylon.

At this time, the college's doorman came over and respectfully said to Plato: "There is someone outside asking to see you, he said he is from Dionia."

The doorman’s voice just fell, and some people stopped talking at the place.

I’m discussing Diaonia, I didn’t expect the people of Dionia to come, it’s too clever!

"Let him come over." Plato was equally curious. He had no friends in Dionia. The only thing he knew was Lucias. He is said to have done a good job in Turui.

After a while, the guard led a young man to come to them.

The eyes of everyone were curiously focused on him. The young man did not feel restrained. He saluted Plato in a generous manner and then respectfully said: "I am Foster Kada, from the Dionysian Academy, subject to high Entrusted by Teacher Ergia, I will send you a letter and wait for your reply."

Gorgia! Plato was surprised and asked: "I remember that Gorgia should be in Leotini. When I traveled to Sicily a few years ago, I also visited him. When did he go to Diaonia?"

Forstkada thought for a moment and replied: "It was about six years in Deonia. King Daves personally invited him to the Dionysian Academy as a teacher. He accepted the invitation."

Plato had studied with Dionynia, so I still know more about this unique way of Diaonia. I was surprised to say: "That should be something shortly after I met Gorgia. He I was told at the time that he was old and in poor health and would not come to Athens for a visit. He did not expect to go to Tunisia in Dionia..."

Foster Kada proudly said: "That is because Dr. Dionia has superb medical skills to treat the diseases of the teacher of Gorgia, and the excellent environment of the University of Denia is conducive to his study of learning and teaching students. So I moved him."

Plato nodded and asked, "Are you a student of Gorgia?"

Foster Kada hesitated and said: "Gorgi is my teacher, I learned philosophy from him. But I also learned history from Ansitanos and mathematics, geometry, and mathematics. Learn rhetoric and debate from Teacher Lucias..."

Upon hearing this, Plato sighed in her heart: Akademi College is an educational place where he cultivates outstanding students and realizes his political ideals. He does not want to give every student a multi-faceted, high-quality education. But unlike the Daimiya Academy, which is funded by the entire kingdom and has an incomparably rich teaching resource, the Akademie Academy is a private property of him and his friends, from its inception to the present, except for himself and occasionally Friends, have not invited famous scholars to teach students the advanced mathematics and geometry knowledge. Although he is also involved in this aspect, but can not fully meet the desire of some students to further study, so more is to let them read Collect books. To this end, Plato spends a lot of energy and collects books of various knowledge through various channels.

Plato did not ask again, but opened a letter from Gorgia.

Just as he read the letter, curious students have begun to communicate with Forst Kada.

“We have long heard that the Dionysian Academy is the largest educational knowledge of the Western Mediterranean. Which one is better than our Akademi?” Athens is the most prosperous city in the Greek city-state. It was once called by Pericles “the best school in Greece”, so young people in Athens have a cultural self-confidence. For those from the colonies, they always take a proud, even if these are being more Youth in higher education is no exception.

Foster Kada saw their look in the eyes, did not answer directly, but seriously asked: "How big is your college?"

"About ten acres of land."

“How many teachers?” Foster Kada asked quietly.

"We not only have Plato teachers, but also... and the teacher of Seyatetus also teaches us mathematics from time to time." Ole As for the fear of being underestimated, and specially added the occasional Athens mathematician Aettus.

“How many students are there?”

"There are 23 people, and some of them are reading in the library of the school..."

After listening to this, Foster Kadaung started and said loudly: "Dyonia College covers an area of ​​150 acres, and its area is like a small town. There are more than 20 large and small buildings in the school, more than 300 students, well-known 15 scholars, including Lucias, who wrote "Rhetoric Debating", and Ansitas, a teacher with "History of Great Greece", invented pulley mechanics, leverage mechanics, pitch wave theory, and float theory Mr. Marty Collis, the teacher of Herpps who wrote "Human Anatomy" and "Preliminary Study of Disease", wrote the teacher of Gorgia who wrote "On the Existence or Nature", and invented the new music lyrics of Philo. Teacher Sanus... In addition to these famous scholars, we have more than 20 teachers and more than 100 students and teachers.

Our students have many courses including philosophy, rhetoric, law, mathematics, astronomy, history, poetry, biology, music... In addition, we have to exercise and even hold some competitions to ensure We are physically and mentally harmonious, while exercising our will to win.

In order to be fully engaged in learning, we have our own residence in the college... Oh, yes! There is also a large library in the Dionysian Academy. There are now more than 5,000 books in the collection. There are not only Greek works, but also Persian, Egyptian, Carthage... such as the book of Carthage, the Code of Persia. We have dedicated staff to translate these books..."

The description of Foster Kada made the young people stunned, envious and jealous on their faces. Someone couldn’t help but say: "What you said sounds good. Who knows if it is true?"

Foster Kada sneered: "The Dionysian Academy is just a few miles away from Athens. You can always send someone to confirm. You will find that what I said is far from describing Deao. The true strength of the Niagre Academy."

"It doesn't matter how much or not the substance is. It is enough that we have a Plato teacher who can let us master the real knowledge." Spitzs reminded everyone.
