The Cave Of The Dead By Kreios Summary
There was once a beautiful girl who lived in a city made of flowers, called Pamphilous. Pamphilous was filled with light and happiness, but under the beautiful city was the Cave of the Dead. The cave housed the souls of the dead and their king Kreios. Kreios was filled with darkness, not one part of him had a speck of happiness. He had a hole in his heart which he thought could only be filled if he took over everyone’s happiness.
Anyway back in Pamphilous the beautiful girl, Althea, went to the well to get water. As she approached the stone well, hidden in between two gnarled trees, an old man appeared. Startled she took a step back. “Althea,” he called out, “Wait, there is something I need to tell you.” “What?” she answered back. He explained to her that she was prophesized to do great things and will save Pamphilous. She believed him and waited her whole life, but she never saved Pamphilous.

As the years went on she still never lost hope that she was meant to save her city. She thought that it would just take time. Meanwhile, Kreios had plotted a plan to take the happiness of the people of Pamphilous. The next morning, Kreios had the army of the dead march through Pamphilous. As they walked through the city of flowers wilted away and turned into bones. Althea’s beautiful city turned dark and sadness filled the streets. The Pamphilous army had no chance against the forces of Kreios. When he took over he made mountains that spit out fire to destroy houses and people. Then he made the ground rumble, it killed Althea to watch her once beautiful city burn and crumble. So she devised a plan; every night she would sneak out of the city and find twigs or sticks. Then, when she goes to get water in the woods she built small parts of a trap to capture Kreios and his army. They only problem was she had to lure Kreios into the

    Throughout the historical fiction novel Year of Wonders, author Geraldine Brooks shows the audience that the horrific burden of the plague brought out the best and the worst in the people of Eyam. Under these unfamiliar circumstances, each of the villagers reacts differently to their losses, and how they handle themselves under the fear of not knowing who is next. Some of the mourning villagers are driven to the point of murdering, cruelty, and insanity in search of the reasons why the plague was brought upon them, and looking for the answers to find who is to blame for their suffering and “evil doubting of one another”.

    The Allegory of the Cave

    • 424 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Allegory of the Cave is a metaphor that can be seen to describe many aspects and situations in life that one had no control or choice over. The reason Plato uses many metaphors in his allegory is to think or ‘philosophize’ about the world around us because in fact our understanding of the world is very limited. This is due to the fact that we live in a world of shadows and not reality to whom very little is actually known about by everyone. The metaphors are seen to actually represent a society with all its people, truths, hidden meanings, problems, solutions etc… The meanings transferred in the allegory of the cave apply to philosophy because it shows the philosophers position in society. It gives the philosopher the opportunity to philosophize/think about what exists/reality and what does not exist in our surrounding environment. To society, the allegory of the cave contemplates many issues related to man in his society. Such issues include human’s ability to be ignorant or knowledgeable, free or imprisoned, stubborn, lazy, active, etc… by choosing either to or not to search for answers to many of the issues that arise continuously. Moreover, The Allegory of the Cave is about ignorance and learning because the men in the cave are ignorant or unaware of the outside world that exists except for the shadows that they saw passing by on the walls. The man who is freed engages in the process of learning from the moment he is released from the cave and is forced to adapt to the new conditions and situations that now surround him. In addition, the chains are used to symbolize the limited amount of information that a person has about reality. For whatever reason, this limited amount of information can be considered to be a type of ignorance. Last but not least, as humans in this world, many of us are really ignorant…

    “The Republic”, Plato’s longest work, has many views about philosophy and characters within and there is one character that truly stands out and entices you to read on until the very end; that was Socrates.

Within “The Republic”, Plato has written a symbolic account about one of Socrates’ teachings of education or the enlightenment of the mind and soul; “The Allegory of the Cave”.

    Allegory of the Cave

    • 1003 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The "Allegory of the Cave" by Plato represents an extended metaphor that is to contrast the way in which we perceive and believe in what is reality. The thesis behind his allegory is the basic tenets that all we perceive are imperfect "reflections" of the ultimate Forms, which subsequently represent truth and reality. The purpose of this allegory defines clearly the process of enlightenment. For a man to be enlightened, he must above all desire the freedom to explore and express himself. Plato's main concept of the cave is: people see reality as the visible world when reality really is more than the visible world.…
