This week we’ll consider some classical discussions of the daimon and the soul: First, The Myth of Er that concludes Plato’s Republic. We’ll go from pp. 279 about halfway down, where Socrates says “Yes, for the struggle to be good rather than bad is important, Glaucon…”, through to the end on pp. 292. Then we’ll look at Plotinus’ “On Our Allotted Guardian Spirit” from the 3rd book of Enneads (pp. 143-161). Note that the Plotinus features Greek on the verso and English on the recto, so the page count there is actually half of what it appears. Should be fun!
