Plato at Syracuse


Plato's travels to Syracuse are very famous (390,367,361).

At that time, Syracuse was one of the most important cities in the Mediterranean sea, both for its strategic position and its wealth and  civilization.

At Syracuse, Plato, under the protection of Dionis who was Dyonisius's brother in law, tried to reform the absolute govern of Dyonisius the Old and then Dyonisius the Young.
