Question

Why would Socrates censor the passage in the Iliad that refers to a soul "bewailing his fate, leaving manliness and the bloom of youth"?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Agriculture can be called the backbone of India's economic system because two-thirds of the Indian population is engaged in the cultivation of land. Agriculture not only helps to feed the large population, but it also supports the principal manufacturing industries with raw materials.

Answer 2

It was censored as it was causing children to fear.

• The particular passage from the Iliad was seen to instill fear of death in youth, hindering their capacity to be excellent soldiers.
• According to Socrates, the future Guardians must be ethically educated and indoctrinated with excellent values. Like a result, kids must be taught heroic and divine stories, just as our fathers did for us.
• However, some of these legends must be changed since they depict gods and mankind committing evil actions, crimes, and deceitful killings. Such things instill fear and must be altered.
